TRACEROUTE6(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual TRACEROUTE6(8)NAME
traceroute6 - print the route IPv6 packets take to network host
SYNOPSIS
traceroute6 [-dIlnrv] [-f firsthop] [-g gateway] [-m hoplimit] [-p port]
[-q probes] [-s src] [-w waittime] host [datalen]
DESCRIPTION
The traceroute6 utility details the route IPv6 packets take to reach a
network host.
The options are as follows:
-d Debug mode.
-f firsthop
Specify how many hops to skip.
-g gateway
Specify an intermediate gateway (traceroute6 uses a routing
header).
-I Use ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.
-l 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.
-m hoplimit
Specify a maximum hoplimit.
-n Do not resolve numeric addresses.
-p port
Set UDP port number to port.
-q probes
Set the number of probes per hop count to probes.
-r 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 corresponds to the
SO_DONTROUTE socket option; it can be used to ping a local host
through an interface that has no route through it (e.g. after the
interface was dropped by a routing daemon).
-s src Specify the source IPv6 address to be used.
-v Be verbose.
-w waittime
Specify the time delay between probes.
EXIT STATUS
The traceroute6 utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

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