Looking Glass
Use this tool to perform ping/traceroutes via IPv4 or IPv6 from any of our locations. If you are unable to ping due to a firewall, try a traceroute to get an idea of the route to your location.
Commands IPv4
IPv4 – Traceroute
Traceroute tracks the route packets take across an IP network on their way to a given host. It utilizes the IP protocol's time to live (TTL) field and attempts to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to the host.
IPv4 – Ping
Ping uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST datagrams (''pings'') have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a struct timeval and then an arbitrary number of ''pad'’ bytes used to fill out the packet.
IPv4 – MTR
MTR combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool. As MTR starts, it investigates the network connection between the host MTR runs on and HOSTNAME. This allows MTR to print the response percentage and response times of the internet route to HOSTNAME.
IPv6 – Traceroute6
Traceroute6 tracks the route packets take across an IP network on their way to a given host. It utilizes the IP protocol's time to live (TTL) field and attempts to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to the host.
IPv6 – Ping6
Ping6 uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST datagrams (''pings'') have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a struct timeval and then an arbitrary number of ''pad'’ bytes used to fill out the packet.
IPv6 – MTR6
MTR6 combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool. As MTR starts, it investigates the network connection between the host MTR runs on and HOSTNAME. This allows MTR to print the response percentage and response times of the internet route to HOSTNAME.
