| -d | Debug mode. |
| -f firsthop |
| | Specify how many hops to skip in trace. |
| -g gateway |
| | Specify intermediate gateway ( uses routing header). |
| -I | Use ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams. |
| -l | Print both host hostnames and numeric addresses. Normally traceroute6 prints only hostnames if |
| -m hoplimit |
| | Specify maximum hoplimit, up to 255. The default is 30 hops. -n is not specified, and only numeric addresses if -n is specified. |
| -n | Do not resolve numeric address to hostname. |
| -p port |
| | Set UDP port number to port. |
| -q probes |
| | Set the number of probe per hop count to probes. |
-r -s src |
| | Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used. |
| -v | Be verbose. |
| -w waittime |
| | Specify the delay time between probes. |

This program prints the route to the given destination and the round-trip time to each gateway, in the same manner as traceroute.
Here is a list of possible annotations after the round-trip time for each gateway:
