-**Trace**: Within FreshTomato's graphical interface, you can use the Trace function to run a traceroute between the FreshTomato device and another TCP/IP host. Traceroute is used for testing/verifying network paths/performance between two devices on a network/Internetwork.
+This menu provides a traceroute function from in the web interface.  Traceroute let you trace the route between the FreshTomato device and another device on the LAN or the Internet. This helps verify optimal paths and locate potential traffic bottlenecks/blockages. \\   \\   \\ {{:pasted:20200520-164103.png?773}} \\   \\
-**Address:** Here you enter the domain address or IP address of the host with which which you wish to run a traceroute.
+ \\ **Address:** here, specify the domain name or IP address you wish to trace. \\   \\ **Maximum Hops:** here, enter the maximum hops (TTL, or Time to Live value) the trace can run before it expires.   \\   \\ **Maximum Wait Time: ** here, set the maximum time (in milliseconds) the router should wait for replies.
-**Maximum Hops:** Here you enter the maximum number of router hops aka the "TTL" (TimeToLive) value. This represents the maximum number of router hops during a traceroute session that an IP datagram can exist between FreshTomato and the destination.
+Shorter values can result in lost packets. Longer values can make the traceroute take longer to complete.
-**Maximum Wait Time: ** Here you specify specify the time allowed for each reply before timeout occurs (in milliseconds). This is the maximum waiting time for each packet to be received before it is considered lost.\\
