Traces: Distributed tracing is specifically designed to follow a single request as it travels across multiple services in a distributed system. Each request is assigned a unique ID, and as it moves from one service to another, each service adds information (spans) about its part in handling the request, including timestamps, operation names, and other relevant metadata. This allows you to visualize the entire journey of a request, identify latency issues in specific services, and understand the dependencies between services.

TraceRoute: TraceRoute is a network diagnostic tool used to track the network path and measure delays between network nodes. It operates at the network layer and is not relevant for tracking the flow of an application-level request within a microservice architecture.
