PingPlotter vs. Tracert different routes - 06/30/16 03:54 PM
Hello,
Just wondering if someone can help explain why there are different routes to a host when I use Trace route (tracert) from a command prompt. If I tracert say client.schwab.com from DOS prompt I get a straight route in the USA to the site but using Pingplotter the trace goes through Vienna, Prague, France. This is reproducible for a couple different sites.
I have cleared my DNS cache and browser cache, just in case.
Any ideas?
