Traceroute is a command line utility that measures the speed and route data takes to a destination server.

It works by sending several test packets of data to a specified destination address, and records each intermediate router or link passed by the data on it's journey. Each router encountered represents a hop, and is also known as a node. It's common for data to have several hops before it reaches it's destination.

 

Hop number 45 in the results shows no time data and a Request timed out error. This is because the server at hop four is not accepting Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic. As a result it ignores Traceroutes request for information. As you can see, however, it has still sent the data to the next hop as there are results that follow.

The Request timed out error message is usually nothing to worry about, as many network providers may disable ICMP traffic if their network is under heavy load.
