The Traceroute command shows how the packets travel in the network, specifically Traceroute shows the number of hops your packets make to reach the destination router or IP address. How the packet hops from router to router is shown in Time to Live. The Minimum Time to Live is the lowest number of routers/hops the packet is allowed and Maximum Time to Live is the highest number of routers/hops the packet will visit before it is dropped and becomes undeliverable.
