traceroute6 - Trace the route to HOST (IPv6)
Description:
traceroute6 tracks the route packets take through an IPv6 network on their way to a given host.
Note: The traceroute command supports both IPv4 and IPv6, so traceroute6 is equivalent to traceroute, however some parameters used in IPv4 may not be valid for IPv6.
Usage:
traceroute6 [-C VCE] [-dnrv] [-m MAXTTL] [-p PORT] [-q PROBES]
[-s SRC_IP] [-t TOS] [-w WAIT_SEC] [-i IFACE]
