IGetAround


The traceroute command is an easy to use utility on Unix-family computers which allows
one to see how one's communications with the internet are being routed. (In effect, it is
a diagnostic tool, if one is running into trouble ) . The first three columns are slow, average,  fast
numbers for one's packet to reach intermediate stations.  These numbers are in the milliseconds:
the internet is fast.

Note: the Web is the community of interlinked sites and access points. The Internet is a service 
that includes email and others.
 
To use this command, one goes to the shell command utility and merely types:
traceroute name of the destination site
for windows tracert name of the destination site
