What is Tracert?
  • Briefly, it is the path of the data from the computer to the server in the time it goes.
What does it do?
  • If there is a problem on the path followed by the data, it shows us where the problem is.
Let's do a test now.
For testing, we open CMD and type tracert 162.249.79.1 and press enter. This address belongs to LoL TR servers.

  • The values on the left show the transition time to the next point and this jump takes 3 tries.
  • In the 9th and 10th sections, we see that it does not return in the expected time and times out. Then it tries again and the return time of the request appears on the last line. If there is an asterisk (*) in all 3 parts, there may be a network problem as above, but this does not always mean that there is a problem. The system's firewall is also blocking it or it may be a momentary situation.
    • This problem may be caused by the service provider, internal installation and server. In this case, you can contact the service provider (ISP). Don't forget to share these values with them as you pass.
