Using pathping to identify network data transfer problems

[UK Sentinel]

The PathPing command is a command-line network utility supplied in Windows 2000 and beyond that combines the functionality of ping with that of tracert. It is used to locate spots that have network latency and network loss.

PathPing commandpProvides information about network latency and network loss at intermediate hops between a source and destination. This command sends multiple echo Request messages to each router between a source and destination, over a period of time, and then computes results based on the packets returned from each router. Because this command displays the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, you can determine which routers or subnets might be having network problems. Used without parameters, this command displays help.

I only knew tracert, this seems to be an advanced version of tracert combined with ping functionality.
