Route Test

Perform bidirectional traceroute tests to analyze network routes between client and server.

Overview

By default, the test only allows users to trace the route to their IP address from the server. To allow users to test to any location or a set range of addresses, create a custom route test. Click the Start button to begin a trace.

Completed Test

The route test shown here is a bidirectional route test, meaning the traceroute runs from client to server and from server to client. This gives a more complete view of the route and its performance.

Note: The BCS must be run as administrator for the client-to-server portion to work.
