Windows tracert has a waiting time (at least 1000 milliseconds per packet, PTR Record query at least 3000 milliseconds)
Windows traceroute uses ICMP, not TCP.
Windows is slower because it only sends one packet at a time, waits for a response before sending another, and has a delay between hops. On the other hand, the Linux version sends out a whole heap at once with various TTLs, so it's effectively tracing multiple hops simultaneously. The parallelisation is the main reason for the fast performance of the Linux version.
The Linux one used to be slow like the Windows one too, but at some point in the mid 2000s it was rewritten to make it faster
which linux and which windows version?
windows user OS or, winserver kernel ?
