How to use a network diagram template.
- 01Run a Traceroute Command
Use the terminal command `traceroute` (or `tracert` on Windows) to capture the IP addresses and latency of each hop to your target.
- 02Input Data into the Network Diagram Maker
Copy the traceroute output and paste it into our network diagram tool. It automatically parses hops and labels them.
- 03Customize Your Diagram
Adjust node positions, add annotations like geolocation or ISP details, and style the connections to highlight critical paths.
- 04Share or Export
Download your diagram as PNG, SVG, or embed it in documentation. You can also share a live link with colleagues.
Questions about network diagram templates
What is a traceroute network diagram?
It's a visual representation of the path network packets take from a source to a destination, showing each intermediate router (hop) with IP addresses and round-trip times.
How do I create a traceroute diagram?
You can use our network diagram maker by pasting the output of a traceroute command. The tool automatically generates a diagram that you can refine and share.
Can I diagram traceroutes to multiple destinations?
Yes, our tool supports comparing multiple traceroutes side-by-side, which is useful for diagnosing network asymmetry or routing changes.
What information is shown in a typical traceroute diagram?
Each node represents a hop with its IP address, and edges show the sequence. You can also include latency values, AS numbers, and geographical locations.
Are there any prerequisites for making a traceroute diagram?
Just basic familiarity with the terminal and your destination's hostname or IP address. No design skills needed; the tool does the layout automatically.
