TRACEROUTE6(8) System Manager's Manual TRACEROUTE6(8)

traceroute6print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination

traceroute6 [-adIlnrv] [-A as_server] [-f firsthop] [-g gateway] [-m hoplimit] [-p port] [-q probes] [-s src] [-w waittime] target [datalen]

Turn on AS# lookups and use the given server instead of the default.
Turn on AS# lookups for each hop encountered.
Debug mode.
firsthop
Specify how many hops to skip in trace.
gateway
Specify intermediate gateway (traceroute6 uses routing header).
Use ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.
Print both host hostnames and numeric addresses. Normally traceroute6 prints only hostnames if -n is not specified, and only numeric addresses if -n is specified.
hoplimit
Specify maximum hoplimit.
Do not resolve numeric address to hostname.
port
Set UDP port number to port.
probes
Set the number of probe per hop count to probes.
Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned. This option can be used to send probes to a local host through an interface that has no route through it (e.g., after the interface was dropped by route6d(8)).
src
Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used.
Be verbose.
waittime
Specify the delay time between probes.

The traceroute6 command exits 0 on success, and >0 on errors.

The traceroute6 command first appeared in WIDE hydrangea IPv6 protocol stack kit.
