removed "history of the" from line 12 (#23728) 

I think it makes it read better. I think path might be a better word than history but you've used that in parentheses as an alternative for route.

- [More Information](#more-information)
## Traceroute
Traceroute is a computer network diagnostic tool for displaying the route (path) and measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The history of the route is recorded as the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive host (remote node) in the route (path); the sum of the mean times in each hop is a measure of the total time spent to establish the connection. Traceroute proceeds unless all (three) sent packets are lost more than twice, then the connection is lost and the route cannot be evaluated. Ping, on the other hand, only computes the final round-trip times from the destination point.

#### How data travels across the internet
Each computer on the traceroute is identified by its IP address, which is the nine-digit number separated by periods that identifies that computer's unique network connection. Here are a few details regarding a traceroute:
