This object allows entries to be created and deleted in the traceRouteCtlTable. Deletion of an entry in this table results in all corresponding (same traceRouteCtlOwnerIndex and traceRouteCtlTestName index values) traceRouteResultsTable, traceRouteProbeHistoryTable, and traceRouteHopsTable entries being deleted. A value MUST be specified for traceRouteCtlTargetAddress prior to a transition to active(1) state being accepted. Activation of a remote traceroute operation is controlled via traceRouteCtlAdminStatus and not by transitioning of this object's value to active(1). Transitions in and out of active(1) state are not allowed while an entry's traceRouteResultsOperStatus is active(1) with the exception that deletion of an entry in this table by setting its RowStatus object to destroy(6) will stop an active traceroute operation. The operational state of an traceroute operation can be determined by examination of the corresponding traceRouteResultsOperStatus object.
