Traceroute, in a nutshell, is about iteratively sending packets to the network with specific TTL (Time To Live) settings. The first round of packets uses a TTL of 1. The second uses a value of 2. The values are adjusted upwards each iteration until the destination responds, or the maximum number of hops has been evaluated.
