The network team told me I only needed ICMP 8 bi directional for traceroute to work but it still does not seem to be working. ping does work with ICMP 8 being open but what do I need to open for traceroute to work?



I get this right now



[root]:$ traceroute server1
traceroute to server1 (x.x.x.x), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 * * *
2 * * *
3 * * *
4 * * *
5 * * *
6 * * *

          In some distributions Traceroute use UDP you can give it -I so it will use ICMP, or -T for TCP.
          The reason for it to use UDP in some distributions is because that way it won't need root permission to run.

          looks like I need this also for regular traceroute 8/ICMP, 33434-33689/UDP, I'm on linux and solaris systems.



          I tried the -I and -T options but I don't have root on all systems in production
