Traceroute / Ping Visualizer

Traceroute hop-chain visualization with per-hop latency and one flagged latency jump

Paste raw traceroute/tracert or ping output and get an instant per-hop or per-packet latency visualization — timeouts, latency jumps, and dropped packets highlighted automatically. Supports Linux/Mac traceroute, Windows tracert, Linux ping, and Windows ping output. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Each traceroute hop shows only the first host/IP seen on that line — if your path uses per-flow load balancing (ECMP) and a hop replies from a different address per probe, only the first is used for the label. Ping sequence numbers for Windows output are inferred from line order since Windows doesn't print an explicit sequence number.

Examples (click to load)

* * *That hop is rate-limiting or filtering ICMP — it does NOT mean your actual traffic is being dropped there

One slow hopRouters often deprioritize generating ICMP TTL-exceeded replies — a latency spike on one hop that disappears on the next is usually that, not a real path problem

ECMPLoad-balanced paths can show a different host per probe at the same hop, or even an inconsistent hop count

Last hop onlyIf everything times out except the final destination, that's normal — it means intermediate routers are configured not to reply, not that they're down

Jittermax − min RTT across the sample — high jitter hurts VoIP/video more than high-but-stable latency

Isolated dropA single lost packet in an otherwise clean run is usually not significant on its own

Clustered dropsMultiple consecutive losses usually indicate real congestion or a flapping link, not noise

TTLA lower-than-expected TTL on replies can indicate the path length changed (route flap) between samples

Linux/Mac tracerouteStandard 3-probe-per-hop output with hostname (ip) and ms values

Windows tracert3-probe-per-hop with ms or * per column, hostname [ip] or bare ip

Linux pingicmp_seq=N ... time=X ms lines — gaps in sequence numbers are shown as drops

Windows pingReply from / Request timed out. lines, sequence inferred from line order
