XOS ping with record-route

[M_Nees]

What is the use-case for an ping the option "with record-route" ? How can use it reasonable? Command line reference do not tell anything deeper.

If i try it, i will get following output:

Slot-1 cnsha1sw001.24 # ping vr "VR-Default" continuous 10.0.8.44 from 10.64.4.1 with record-route

Ping(ICMP) 10.0.8.44: continuous packets, 8 data bytes, interval 1 second(s).
16 bytes from 10.0.8.44: icmp_seq=0 ttl=118 time=195 ms
RR:

16 bytes from 10.0.8.44: icmp_seq=1 ttl=118 time=190 ms
(same route)
16 bytes from 10.0.8.44: icmp_seq=2 ttl=118 time=185 ms
(same route)
16 bytes from 10.0.8.44: icmp_seq=3 ttl=118 time=189 ms
(same route)

Hi,
Use of record-route displays trace route information.
The intermediate hops ip adress and its ttl value is displayed , example :

* X460-48t.22 # ping 20.20.20.20 from 10.10.10.10 with record-route
Ping(ICMP) 20.20.20.20: 4 packets, 8 data bytes, interval 1 second(s).
16 bytes from 20.20.20.20: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.979 ms
RR: 10.10.10.10
20.20.20.20
20.20.20.20
10.10.10.10

16 bytes from 20.20.20.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.314 ms
(same route)
16 bytes from 20.20.20.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.306 ms
(same route)
16 bytes from 20.20.20.20: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.354 ms
(same route)
