Zusammenfassung:A system, computer program and method to determine a transmission path of a datagram in an IP network from a source device to a destination device. The source device sends a datagram to an IP network device along the transmission path to the destination device. The datagram comprises as destination address, the IP address of the destination device and as source address, the IP address of the network manager station. Consequently, replies, if any, to the datagram are sent back directly to the network manager station by the IP network device along the transmission path, bypassing the source device.
