-**Trace**: Within FreshTomato's graphical interface, you can use the Trace function to run a traceroute between the FreshTomato device and another TCP/IP host. Traceroute is used for testing/verifying network paths/performance between two devices on a network/Internetwork.
+This page provides a traceroute function from within the Web interface.  Traceroute allows you to trace the route between the FreshTomato device and another device on a network or the Internet, helping you verify optimal paths and locate potential traffic bottlenecks or blockages.
-**Address:** Here you enter the domain address or IP address of the host with which which you wish to run a traceroute.
+ \\
-**Maximum Hops:** Here you enter the maximum number of router hops aka the "TTL" (TimeToLive) value. This represents the maximum number of router hops during a traceroute session that an IP datagram can exist between FreshTomato and the destination.
+**Address:** Here, specify the domain name or IP address you wish to trace.
-**Maximum Wait Time: ** Here you specify specify the time allowed for each reply before timeout occurs (in milliseconds). This is the maximum waiting time for each packet to be received before it is considered lost.\\
+**Maximum Hops:** Here, enter the maximum number of hops (TTL, or Time to Live value) the trace can run before it expires.

+**Maximum Wait Time: ** Here, specify the maximum time (in milliseconds) the router should wait for replies. Shorter values can result in lost packets. Longer values can make the traceroute take longer to complete..
