NAME
 traceroute6 — print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination
SYNOPSIS
| traceroute6 | [-adIlnrv] [-A as_server] [-f firsthop] [-g gateway] [-m hoplimit] [-p port] [-q probes] [-s src] [-w waittime] target [datalen] | 
 
DESCRIPTION
- 
-A
- 
Turn on AS# lookups and use the given server instead of the default.
- 
-a
- 
Turn on AS# lookups for each hop encountered.
- 
-d
- 
Debug mode.
- 
-f firsthop
- 
Specify how many hops to skip in trace.
- 
-g gateway
- 
Specify intermediate gateway (traceroute6 uses routing header).
- 
-I
- 
Use ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.
- 
-l
- 
Print both host hostnames and numeric addresses. Normally traceroute6 prints only hostnames if -n is not specified, and only numeric addresses if -n is specified.
- 
-m hoplimit
- 
Specify maximum hoplimit.
- 
-n
- 
Do not resolve numeric address to hostname.
- 
-p port
- 
Set UDP port number to port.
- 
-q probes
- 
Set the number of probe per hop count to probes.
- 
-r
- 
Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned. This option can be used to send probes to a local host through an interface that has no route through it (e.g., after the interface was dropped by route6d(8)).
- 
-s src
- 
Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used.
- 
-v
- 
Be verbose.
- 
-w waittime
- 
Specify the delay time between probes.
 
EXIT STATUS
 The traceroute6 command exits 0 on success, and >0 on errors.
HISTORY
 The traceroute6 command first appeared in WIDE hydrangea IPv6 protocol stack kit.
