Which command provides detailed statistics for packet transmission along a specified path?

The command that provides detailed statistics for packet transmission along a specified path is traceroute. This tool enables a user to trace the route that packets take from the local machine to a specified destination across a network. It does this by sending packets with gradually increasing Time To Live (TTL) values, allowing it to identify the various hops (intermediate routers and devices) the packets traverse. Each router along the way responds to the packet with a time value, which contributes to the routing path visualization and helps in diagnosing network latency and routing issues.

Traceroute not only shows the path but also provides round-trip time information for each hop, thereby giving users a detailed understanding of the performance and potential bottlenecks along the transmission route. This makes it particularly useful for troubleshooting network performance problems.
