Using Pathping

Pathping is a TCP/IP based utility (command-line tool) that provides useful information about network latency and network loss at intermediate hops between a source address and a destination address. It does this by sending echo requests via ICMP and analyzing the results. ICMP stands for Internet Control Message Protocol. ICMP is an extension to the Internet Protocol (IP - part of the TCP/IP protocol suite) defined by RFC 792. ICMP supports packets containing error, control and informational messages.

Pathping will send multiple echo request messages to each router between what you are attempting to ping – the source address. If your destination is across a WAN link then it’s certain that you will be using some form of router, most likely two, which would mean that you could test pathping across a two hop network – two router hops.(continue at source)
