ping – shows time which needs to transfer data packet from your IP address to the server;
traceroute – transfers data packet from the server to your IP address and shows information about all transitional routers which data packet passes through when it goes to the destination node;
route for all – shows two best bgp-routes for each location;
route for(bgpmap) – shows information about which AS (autonomous systems) the data packet have to pass for achieve destination network.
4. Write your IPv4 or IPv6 address and start the test.
