Ever been diagnosing a network and wanted to know how ping is getting somewhere? Adding -R (record routes) to your ping command will show you something like this –
# ping -R 192.168.0.1
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.222 ms
RR: 192.168.0.1
