I am trying to understand how tracert works and have some trouble, any guidance is appreciated =D
I understand that an ICMP error message "ICMP Time Exceeded" is sent back to the sender machine whenever the TTL value is 0 or 1.
But why don't we see the error message each time the trace packet passes through each router ?
As tracert works by receiving the "ICMP Time Exceeded" error...
