• traceroute
• ipconfig
• telnet
• netstat
  

  Answers Explanation & Hints: The traceroute command provides connectivity information about the path a packet takes to reach the destination and about every router (hop) along the way. It also indicates how long a packet takes to get from the source to each hop and back.
