Best 5 Free Route Tracer
There is a vast world of computer networks which are used everywhere, at homes for internet connectivity, at offices as workgroups, or at large scale as a domain. Data travel from node to node, so there is a proper route at which data travels.
To trace this route or to find the best route/path for packets (data) over a network (IP Network), a technology is used which is known as Trace route. It also tracks the number of hops or computers that a packet will go through. Trace route is also used to calculate total time spent by a packet while transferring from one node to other over a network.
Users may have some problems while communication on a network; it may be a failure of packet transfer or something else. In case users can see and measure the parameters of that particular packet and can find the exact reason for failure of packet transferring. There are many Trace route applications or tools available on internet without any cost. Let’s have a detailed look on some important Trace route tools one by one.
1. 3D Traceroute
2. VisualRoute
3. Alien IP
4. AnalogX HyperTrace
5. Trace3D
3D Traceroute:
It is three dimensional programs which are used to trace the network connectivity and internet traffic flow. It provides the best 3D interface with text detail as well. It keeps the track of network history, means that it keeps all the information about “what is happening on network”. It displays all the information in three dimensional views, which is very efficient and give quick idea about network activities. It is used to monitor the HTTP; PING of long period, HTTP spy is another feature of this tool. 3D Trace route is capable to record every traced activity and users can view it by replaying that recorded activity.
VisualRoute:
It is the ever best integrated tool for pin and trace route. This tool is used to trace the location of an IP address and web servers for security purposes. It is also used to track the SMTP and HTTP protocols for email tracking. It is capable to check about a particular website that either it is working/live or not, if not, then it exactly shows that where the problem exists. It is also used to trace the response time.
Alien IP:
Alien IP is very intelligent tool to map the IP addresses and host anywhere in the world. Especially it is used by web hosts to find out the location of websites visitors. It is very easy to use because of its user friendly interface. It is used for IP resolving, trace listing, and to ping any host.
AnalogX HyperTrace:
It is the best Trace route tool with graphical interface version for all kind of Windows versions. It is used to trace the exact route of an information or data over a network; even it shows the machine to machine information. It provides the detail information including IP address, computer name etc. It is 15-25 times faster and efficient.
Trace3D:
It is used to map all kind of networks devices from node to node, computer to computer, source to destination. It provides the best and latest graphical panel to show the all traced information in 3D graphics. It also provides the live updating continuous route tracking, which is really helping for network administrators.
