Traceroute
You can trace a packet from the EDS to an Internet host, showing how many hops
the packet requires to reach the host and how long each hop takes.
If you visit a web site whose pages appear slowly, you can use traceroute to
determine where the longest delays are occurring.
Use Traceroute from the EDS:
1. Click Diagnostics on the menu bar then Traceroute at the top of the page. The
Traceroute page appears.
