Hi,

Package: traceroute

Description: Traces the route taken by packets over a TCP/IP network.
The traceroute utility displays the route used by IP packets on their way to a
specified network (or Internet) host. Traceroute displays the IP number and
host name (if possible) of the machines along the route taken by the packets.
Traceroute is used as a network debugging tool. If you're having network
connectivity problems, traceroute will show you where the trouble is coming
from along the route.
.
Install traceroute if you need a tool for diagnosing network connectivity
problems.
You can also check 'apt-cache search <packagename>' to find things in cases
when the package name is a little more obscure.
Hope this helps and take care,
Daniel
