To speed up the traceroute test, we type the following
to reduce the number of UDP probe packets we send to one: traceroute -q 1 blarneycastle.ie This sends a single probe to each hop. Setting the Initial TTL Value We can set the initial value of TTL to something other than one, and
skip some hops. Usually, the TTL values are set to one for the first set
of tests, two for the next set of tests, and so on.
