Traceroute determines which IP-Router the data packets take to get to the target computer. However, traceroute does not always show the actual route. The result may be influenced by firewalls, flawed implementation of IP-stacks, Network Address Translation and IP tunnels.
Parallel to the traceroute query, locations of the nodes are also determined and represented on the map.
