Abstract
A traceroute command may be used to diagnose a computer network or provide additional information regarding a computer network. A traceroute command may be provided to applications executing within a virtualized environment by allowing commands to be passed from the virtualized environment to a host operating system through a network interface. The traceroute command may be executed by the host operating system, and network information returned to the application in the virtualized environment.
