Which of the following tools are used to determine the hop counts of an IP packet? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

Netstat displays active network connections, listening ports, and protocol statistics, but does not trace packet routes or reveal hop counts.

TRACERT (Trace Route) works by sending ICMP packets with incrementing TTL values, causing each router along the path to respond, thereby revealing each hop's IP address and the total hop count to the destination.

IPCONFIG displays a host's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway configuration but provides no information about packet routing or hop counts.

Ping sends ICMP echo requests and the TTL value in the reply packet decrements by 1 at each router hop, allowing you to calculate the number of hops between source and destination by comparing the received TTL against known initial TTL values.
