Synopsis:
trace [<server>]
Description:
This works something like the Unix traceroute utility. It displays
the route from the client's current server to a remote one. It
additionally will display any irc operators currently on the remote
server, as well as any other servers connected to it.
If no server is specified, the connections (operator, server) to the
current server are displayed. This is a convenient method of finding
a local irc operator.
TRACE can also be used to determine where a network bottleneck is if
traffic to some users appears particularly slow. If the output stops
before completion, it can be assumed that the problem probably lies
with the last server that replied to the trace, or the next one
downstream.
