So when I asked my boss he gave me this hint: <br />

<br />
Not sure if this changes anything..

Happy Sunday.. &nbsp;I was showing a worker the commands that we use to trace and ping to solve customer issues. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I was asked why do we use &quot;tracert&quot; and not &quot;traceroute&quot;? &nbsp;I could only answer that it is shorted but I know that can't just be the reason. &nbsp;Any legit answers to this questions?

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
