The command: "tracert" is on Windows 11, 10, .. available
Of course, here is more information and examples for the
`tracert` tool on Windows, with additional technical text after the command line examples:
Example 9: Tracert:
The
`tracert` command line tool is a useful utility for diagnosing network problems. After the
`tracert` command on the command line, a list of hops that a data packet passes on the way to a destination is displayed. Each hop represents a router on the way to the destination, and the numbers next to the hops indicate the time it takes to deliver the packet. The options such as
`-d`,
`-h`,
`-w`,
`-s` and
`-r` allow detailed customization of the traceroute process.

Example 10: Tracert with limited hop count:
By adding the
`-h` option and the maximum number of hops, the reach of the traceroute can be limited to a certain number of intermediate stations.

Example 11: Tracert with custom source address:
The
`-s` option allows specifying a specific source address, which can be particularly useful when there are multiple network interfaces.

Example 12: Tracert without DNS resolution:
Adding the
`-d` option skips DNS resolution for the hops found, which can speed up the traceroute process.

Example 13: Tracert with routing header:
The
`-r` option enables the use of the routing header to test the reverse route, which provides additional information about the return path of the data packet.

Example 14: Tracert with timeout adjustment:
By adjusting the timeout value with the
`-w` option, the waiting time for each hop response can be configured.

These advanced options provide granular control over the traceroute process and enable detailed analysis of network routes and latency. Using
`tracert` in combination with these options can be extremely helpful in identifying and resolving network problems.
These examples should give you an idea of ??how you can use
`tracert` with different options to check network routes and analyze latency. The exact options may vary depending on the version of Windows, so it is advisable to consult the help documentation (
`tracert /?`) for your specific version.
