Using the pathping command to trace network traffic

 

pathping command is an alternative to traceroute command in Windows
Power Shell. traceroute shows the first hop as the first router that you
traverse and does not show you what physical NIC the packets are
flowing out of but pathping does show NIC IP Address. It also shows
statistics about packet loss.
