why is tracert so slow?

1.54K views

I’m investigating a load of IP addresses and running a tracert to get an idea of who they are.

Considering it takes milliseconds to talk to the target machine, why does it take so long to get a list of the nodes the connection goes through?

try using the option (usually -n) that stops it trying to look up the host name for every hop.
