The traceroute6
utility uses the IPv6
protocol hop limit field to elicit an ICMPv6 TIME_EXCEEDED response from
each gateway along the path to some host.
The only mandatory parameter is the destination host name or IPv6 address. The default probe datagram carries 12 bytes of payload, in addition to the IPv6 header. The size of the payload can be specified by giving a length (in bytes) after the destination host name.
Other options are:

as_server-d
-e

waittimeThis program prints the route to the given destination and the round-trip time to each gateway, in the same manner as traceroute.
Here is a list of possible annotations after the round-trip time for each gateway:
The traceroute6
utility will exit with 0
on success, and non-zero on errors.
The traceroute6
utility first appeared in
