You see ICMP pings destined to one hop in the transit drop 40% of the But remember what I said earlier, you cannot rely Used to verify latency between the source and destination via icmpĮcho per each hop. Pathping works first by doing a traceroute to the destination then it uses ICMP to ping each hop in the transit path 100 times. Keep in mind even if you send probes to aĭevice that is five hops away, random latency spikes in any fourĭevices prior to the fifth hop can result in the fifth hop looking This latency calculation is a by product of its Measures the latency between the source and the device where the TTL When you dig deeper into the operation of traceroute you will see that traceroute utilizes 3 probe packets for each successive hop byĭefault unless you specify other wise. Thus gives you the ability toĭetermine which network devices the ICMP packet is traversing. Trace-route works in a manner similar to ping however it uses the TTL feature to make each successive hop in the transit path respond Trace-route is another method commonly used by technicians and engineers to diagnosis latency in the transit path however anyĮngineer that has studied how trace-route works would know that its Indirectly affecting the RTT time of an ICMP ping test. Other mission critical traffic is prioritized over ICMP thus This isīecause QoS Policies are put in place to ensure voice traffic and This however is very common in networks that utilize unifiedĬommunications, meaning voice and data on the same network. Transit path that prioritize ICMP over mission critical TCP/UDP Using PING on a LAN network you can trust that what it is saying isĪccurate unless you have foreknowledge of network devices in the Packet was sent to when the echo response was received. Response and it calculates the RTT (Round Trip Time) from when the

PING, is an application based on the ICMP protocol which is used to send echo packets to a destination and expecting to receive an echo OP is asking for equivalent, not alternative and mtr is the closest equivalent. By suggesting traceroute you're suggesting alternative tool and not equivalent tool and thats a big difference. Traceroute and pathping are 2 different tools that do the same thing in a different ways.

Just wanted to say that Christopher provides the most accurate answer here.
