# Trace Measurements > Configure traceroute measurements, where the agent sends ICMP Echo requests with an increasing time-to-live. Source: https://docs.capaone.com/performanceguard/technical-reference/concepts/trace-measurements/ Product: PerformanceGuard — a separate CapaSystems product; do not apply this page to any other. A series of ICMP Echo requests are sent out by the agent. For each request the time-to-live (TTL) is increased. The destination IP address for the requests is set to the trace destination. You can specify a number of parameters for traceroutes: **Text** ```text host = , that is the traceroute endpoint. ``` **Text** ```text MaxTTL = Maximum number of routers that will be traced, the default is 30. ``` **Text** ```text Timeout = Number of milliseconds that the agent will wait for a reply, the default is 5000 (5 seconds). ``` **Text** ```text Repetitions = Number of times a traceroute should be repeated to improve precision of measurement, the default is 2. ``` For each TTL a report line is produced that reflects the response time to the particular router. If a router doesn't respond to the ICMP Echo request, the line inserted has a router IP of 255.255.255.255, and the status code will be set to 10000. **Text** ```text Napp ID : 900 Protocol : 1 Agent Ip : 192.168.101.101 # : 1141921307 JumpCount Router          Success Status Iterations Response Time -----------------------------------------------------------------    1      192.168.101.001 yes      11013           1          500    2      080.196.040.137 yes      11013           1        17000    3      083.088.008.066 yes      11013           1         8000    4      083.088.012.089 yes      11013           1         8000    5      083.088.020.021 yes      11013           1         9000    6      083.088.020.222 yes      11013           1         8000    7      083.088.000.166 yes      11013           1         8000    8      195.215.109.098 yes      11013           1         9000    9      195.184.096.046 yes          0           1        11000 Number of reports : 1 ``` | **Parameter** | **Description** | |:------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | **JumpCount** | The Time To Live (TTL) value used to reach | | **Router** | Depending on the Status code this value is:
1. 0 - address of the final destination
2. 10000 - 255.255.255.255 'ghost' router address non-replying router
3. 11010 - address of the final destination - destination was never reached
4. 11013 - address of in-route router | | **Success** | Depends on the Status code:
1. 0 - 1 (success)
2. 10000 - 1 (success)
3. 11010 - 0 (failure)
4. 11011 - 0 (failure)
5. 11013 - 1 (success) | | **Status** | The following codes are used:
1. 0 - Proper reply from the final destination
2. 10000 - Non replying in-route router
3. 11010 - Non replying destination
4. 11011 - Bad request - no request sent (ICMP library unavailable, or destination IP couldn't be resolved)
5. 11013 - Packet expired in transit, this is the code reported by all in-route routers. | | **Iterations** | Always 1 | | **Response time** | Number of microseconds that the round-trip has taken. If the operating system reports a round-trip time of zero, a value of 500 microseconds (0.5 milliseconds) is used. |
