SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     traceroute6   [-dIlnrv]   [-f  firsthop]  [-g  gateway]  [-m
hoplimit] [-p port]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     -d      Debug mode.

     -f firsthop
             Specify how many hops to skip in trace.

     -g gateway
             Specify intermediate gateway (traceroute6 uses routing header).

     -I      Use ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.

     -l      Print both host  hostnames  and  numeric  addresses.
Normally
             traceroute6 prints only hostnames if -n is not specified, and only
 numeric addresses if -n is specified.

     -m hoplimit
             Specify maximum hoplimit.

     -n      Do not resolve numeric address to hostname.

     -p port
             Set UDP port number to port.

     -q probes
             Set the number of probes per hop count to probes.

     -r

     -s src  Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used.

     -v      Be verbose.

     -w waittime
             Specify the time delay between probes.
