In the latest versions of Ubuntu have been removed some commands that I consider quite necessary. This is the case, including the command traceroute . This command allows us to map the packets that are transmitted between two systems over the Internet.

To install from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install traceroute

The basic usage is simple. We as a parameter the name of the machine to which we draw, for example:

traceroute www.google.com

It is true that its functionality was well covered with System -> Administration -> Network Tools. Includes traceroute and other tools for network diagnosis.
