Here well see how a layer 3 switch or a router transmit packets between different networks using the layer 3 destination address. Routing is performed by routers, firewalls, multi-layer switches and gateways. Any host that is not part of the source device network can be reached through the default router or gateway.

Send these pings using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) or TCP to one or any of the devices you believe to be involved. Ping is a utility that’s available on practically every system, be it a desktop, server, router, or switch. If that’s the case, you should consider TCP Traceroute on Linux, which switches to TCP packets.

We all get the concept: to transmit data over a TCP/IP network like the Internet requires the data be broken down into small packets (usually less than 1500 bytes) containing the relevant application data (payload) and headers. Common causes of packet loss include: Routers with heavy CPU load. Security breaches. Network congestion.
