Your request might be routed to a regional ISP (like Comcast or Cox), which services a limited geographic area. This access point helps your device establish a connection with the internet. A Point of Presence (PoP) is the local access point of your ISP. To find out which row your router is on, check out our guide on how to find your router’s IP address, and then compare it to your traceroute results. However, there are other router manufacturers that will have default IP addresses that start with other numbers. In most cases, the first line will be your router’s IP address, which usually starts with 10.0.XXX.X. The first lines of the traceroute results will indicate your gateway’s IP address. The addresses in the first few rows are from your source network, the middle hops are from internet service providers (ISPs), while the last ones are those near the destination. The traceroute results will show you the IP addresses for different points in the route. It will also list the domain name of the router, if that information is available. Column 5: This column shows the name or IP address of the routers on every hop from your computer to the destination.However, if you see RTT values consistently increasing from the middle hop to the destination, it could be due to a network problem. RTT values below 100 milliseconds are acceptable. To check for the consistency of the response times, the traceroute command sends three packets to each hop, which is why there are three time values listed per row. RTT represents the time it took for a data packet to travel from the source to the destination and back again. Columns 2-4: These show the round trip time measured in milliseconds.Column 1: This represents the hop number, or the number of hops that the three data packets were pushed through to reach the destination.If you see any hops that took a long time or there is an error message in any of the rows, that might be where you have network connectivity problems. To read your traceroute results, look for the round trip time (RTT) in columns two through four. You can also stop a traceroute at any time by pressing the Control + C keys on your keyboard at the same time. You will see the words Trace complete when the process is finished. Finally, press Enter on your keyboard and wait for the traceroute to finish.For example, to run a traceroute to, you would type tracert into the Command Prompt app. Just make sure you leave a space after tracert and before the URL or IP address. You can also run a traceroute to the URL of any website or IP address. If you just want to test your internet connection, it is a good idea to run a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (Google’s DNS server).
