Visually see the path packets of information flow with Visual Trace Route Tool a cool Google Maps mashup.  The Internet is a large and complex aggregation of network hardware connected together by gateways. Information sent over the Internet is broken down into formatted blocks of data called packets.  This cool little tool visualizes that trip your data packets take and sometimes can answer some website latency issues by watching the amount of “hops” it takes to get responses from servers.  The more “hops” the slower a website or server could seem.

    Voor mij werkt een trace route eigenlijk wel zo handig. Minder mooi maar wel sneller
