Traceroute is very useful, but the data it spits out can be a bit tough to chew on. I came up with this one-liner to make it more CSV compatible so you can Split() on commas and have the correct data where you expect it.
![]()
traceroute google.com | sed 's/ /,/g' | sed 's/ ms / ms,/g'This take load balancers into account as well, so when your route slightly changes during a hop, you can still easily grok the data coming back. Basically, take double-spaces and replace them with a comma. The second sed is what takes the load balancers into account, fixing the output so it is the same as the prior hop test.
