Explore Network-Network interface from a client to a host using Traceroute

Traceroute (tracert on Windows OS) is a program that allows user to examine and explore a network by sending packet one hop further at a time (which then returns back and the round trip time to that hop can be computed) until reaching the destination host.

To use it on Windows, open the command line and enter the following example:
tracert www.uw.edu
