Your supervisor has asked you to try and identify the network device causing increased latency between a client's PC and a server located in a different physical location but on the same enterprise network. Which tool is best suited for identifying the problematic device?
Answer Description
Tracert and traceroute6 (a Linux trace route using Ipv6) are both good answers, but are not the best. Pathping is essentially tracert/traceroute but with the ping command sent each time between hops.

Traceroute is best for simply identifying hops between two devices.
