Tracert Syntax; Tracert Parameters - Avaya CallPilot 201i Maintenance And Diagnostics

• When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the router sends back an ICMP Time Exceeded
message to the source system.
• Tracert determines the route by sending the first echo packet with a TTL of 1, and
incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission until the target responds, or
the maximum TTL is reached.
• Tracert then examines the ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent back by intermediate
routers.
