Intermediate router hops

switch to receive

acknowledgement of each probe reaching each router.

Destination IP Address

Figure C-24. Example of a Completed Traceroute Enquiry

Continuing from the previous example (Figure C-24, above), executing traceroute with an insufficient maxttl for the actual hop count produces an output similar to this:

Traceroute does not reach destination IP address because of low maxttl setting.

The asterisk indicates there was a timeout on the second probe to the third hop.
