Question:

How to run a traceroute from your computer to your SnapStream.

Traceroute are computer network diagnostic commands for displaying the route (path) and measuring transit delays of packets across a network. The history of the route is recorded as the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive host (remote node) in the route (path); the sum of the mean times in each hop is a measure of the total time spent to establish the connection.
