Trace

A trace instruction traces the route a packet takes from the agent to another host. It utilizes the IP protocol `time to live' field to elicit an Internet Control Message Protocol TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway (RFC 1812) along the path to the target host. The instruction attempts to trace the route by sending probe packets for up to 30 hops. After completion of the instruction, information messages are issued with both the address of and the time it took to trace each hop. The behavior of this instruction is similar to issuing a tracert <hostname> command from the Windows command line instruction.
