This must be a typo (as usual) in Oracle documentation or they are listing some unknown utility. There are two utilities you can use to trace route to an ip address e.g. run following test,

On Windows:
C:\> ping oracle.com
then
C:\> tracert oracle.com

On *nix:
$ ping oracle.com
then
$ traceroute oracle.com
