59.4 Traceroute6
The Traceroute6 function is used on testing the gateways passed through by the data packets
from the source equipment to the destination equipment, to verify the accessibility and locate
the network failure. The principle of the Traceroute6 under IPv6 is the same as that under
IPv4, which adopts the hop limit field of the ICMPv6 and IPv6 header. First, Traceroute6 sends
an IPv6 datagram (including source address, destination address and packet sent time) whose
HOPLIMIT is set to 1. When first route on the path receives this datagram, it minus the
HOPLIMIT by 1 and the HOPLIMIT is now 0. So the router will discard this datagram and
returns with a “ICMPv6 time exceeded” message (including the source address of the IPv6
packet, all content in the IPv6 packet and the IPv6 address of the router). Upon receiving this
message, the Traceroute6 sends another datagram of which the HOPLIMIT is increased to 2
so to discover the second router. Plus 1 to the HOPLIMIT every time to discover another
router, the Traceroute6 repeat this action till certain datagram reaches the destination.
Traceroute6 Options and explanations of the parameters of the Traceroute6 command please
refer to traceroute6 command chapter in the command manual.
