!tr-ip6 traces the IPv6 routing path from an IPduh Internet host to the destination specified by the IPv6 address. This command reveals each hop along the route, showing how packets traverse the global IPv6 backbone and intermediate networks.
IPv6 routing often differs significantly from IPv4 due to different peering arrangements, backbone topology, and traffic‑engineering strategies. Tracing an IPv6 path can help diagnose connectivity issues, latency anomalies, or unexpected routing detours.
This command provides clear visibility into the IPv6 hop sequence, allowing users to understand how their traffic reaches remote hosts across the Internet. You may also use
!traceroute or
!tr to perform the same operation.
Usage:
!tr-ip6 <ipv6-address>
