The target machine, the
one that??™s at the end of the line, receives an Echo Request message that requests that machine??™s
name, which is why you receive a list of hosts as part of the output. This option lets the command
use a number of intermediate routers to speed the process of defining the path between one
machine and another. The results are less accurate, but you receive them faster.
-w timeout Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for each reply. The default setting is
4,000 milliseconds.

-R Tests the reverse route (from the target to your machine), as well, by adding a special routing
header. You can only use this option with IPv6.
-S srcaddr Specifies a source address to use so that you can test from a different client to the
specified target. You can only use this option with IPv6. The default source address is the current
machine.
-4 Forces TraceRt to use Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) calls, even when the system normally
uses IPv6.
-6 Forces PING to use Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) calls, even when the system normally
uses IPv4. Even though newer versions of Windows include some level of IPv6 support (see the
???Working with IP Version 6??? section of the chapter for details), most systems still use IPv4 and
will do so for several more years.
