tracert: Specify the maximum number of hops in the search for the target.
$ tracert /h ${max_hops} ${IP}
try on your machine
The command "tracert" is used to trace the route that packets take to reach a particular destination on a network. It stands for "Trace Route."
The "/h" option in the command specifies the maximum number of hops (routers) that the command will trace before stopping. The value of "${max_hops}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired maximum number of hops.
The "${IP}" placeholder should be replaced with the IP address or domain name of the destination that you want to trace the route to.
Overall, this command will trace the route to the specified IP address or domain name, and it will display the routers (hops) along the way, up to the maximum number of hops specified.
