traceroute is "deeper" than ping. It exposes things that the casual
user neither sees nor cares about. Ping only measures what everybody
experiences anyway: how responsive is a particular host?
One has to draw a boundary, and on GNU systems it runs between ping
and traceroute. Others do it differnently, AFAIR AIX has both in
sbin.
