tracepath

$ tracepath -p ${33434} ${host}

try on your machine

The command you provided is "tracepath -p ${33434} ${host}".

"tracepath" is a command-line tool used for network troubleshooting that traces the path of network packets from your computer to a remote host or destination.

"-p" is an option/flag for "tracepath" command, which is used to specify the destination port number when performing the trace. In this case, "${33434}" is the placeholder for the destination port number 33434.

"${host}" is another placeholder that represents the hostname or IP address of the destination server or host you want to trace the path to.

So, when you run this command with actual values, it will trace the path of network packets from your computer to the specified host on port 33434, allowing you to see each hop (router) the packets take along the way.
