The correct answer is B. TRACERT. TRACERT (Trace Route) is the correct tool for diagnosing where latency is introduced along the path between two network locations. It sends packets with incrementally increasing TTL values and records the round-trip time at each hop (router) along the route. If the local and…
Question
A technician is testing a connection from the main building to a newly networked off-site location. The main network and off-site both have fast transfer times, however any data sent between the two sites is taking much longer than expected. Which of the following command line tools could the technician use to determine where this slowness is originating?
Options
- ANETSTAT
- BTRACERT
- CNSLOOKUP
- DPING

Explanation
TRACERT (Trace Route) is the correct tool for diagnosing where latency is introduced along the path between two network locations. It sends packets with incrementally increasing TTL values and records the round-trip time at each hop (router) along the route. If the local and remote networks both have fast internal speeds but inter-site traffic is slow, TRACERT will reveal which specific hop is causing the delay. NETSTAT (A) shows current active connections on the local machine. NSLOOKUP (C) queries DNS and is used for name resolution issues. PING (D) tests basic reachability to a single destination but does not show the hop-by-hop path.
