--- 1.1.2.2 ping statistics ---
5 packet(s) transmitted
5 packet(s) received
0.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1/11/53 ms
The principle of ping -r is as shown in
The source (Device A) sends an ICMP echo request with the RR option being empty to the
1.
destination (Device C).
The intermediate device (Device B) adds the IP address (1.1.2.1) of its outbound interface to the RR
2.
option of the ICMP echo request, and forwards the packet.
Upon receiving the request, the destination device copies the RR option in the request and adds the
3.
IP address (1.1.2.2) of its outbound interface to the RR option. Then the destination device sends
an ICMP echo reply.
The intermediate device adds the IP address (1.1.1.2) of its outbound interface to the RR option in
4.
the ICMP echo reply, and then forwards the reply.
Upon receiving the reply, the source device adds the IP address (1.1.1.1) of its inbound interface
5.
to the RR option. Finally, you can get the detailed information of routes from Device A to Device C:
1.1.1.1 <-> {1.1.1.2; 1.1.2.1} <-> 1.1.2.2.

Tracert

Introduction

To check whether a network is available, you can use the tracert command to trace the Layer 3 device
involved in delivering an IP packet from source to destination. This is useful for identification of failed
nodes in the event of network failure.
