Absent source routing capability, you will need to be on one of the machines.
It is also important to understand that traceroute displays the route from a to b while depending on both the route from a to b and the route from each hop to the source of the traceroute probe packets. It will only display the addresses of the interface that received the probe packets. Owen--On Friday, November 15, 2002 8:39 -0500 Minseok Kwon <kwonm () cs purdue edu> wrote:
Is there a way or tool to find the route between two arbitrary hosts from one of my local machines? In other words, given two host IP addresses A and B, I would like to find the route between A and B. I can use a source route, 'traceroute -g', to approximate the route. I have tried this option. Lots of routers, however, do not accept source routes. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
