•

NSLookup

- converts a domain name to its IP address and vice versa.

•

Ping

- tests the “reachability” of a particular network destination by sending an ICMP

echo request and waiting for a reply.

•

TraceRoute

- displays the path to a destination by showing the number of hops and the

router addresses of these hops.
