Which of the following commands will provide an administrator with the number of hops a packet
takes from host to host?

A.
nslookup

B.
ping

C.
traceroute

D.
route

Explanation:

In computing, traceroute is a computer network diagnostic tool for displaying the route (path) and
measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The history of the
route is recorded as the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive host
(remote node) in the route (path); the sum of the mean times in each hop indicates the total time
spent to establish the connection.
