traceroute mac in mininet

In mininet I want to find out through which switches ping goes. For example from PC1 (h1) to PC3 (h3). I already tried:

h1 traceroute mac ip h3

or

11:00:00:00:00:00 traceroute mac 33:00:00:00:00:00

But it didnt work. "Normal" traceroute (h1 traceroute h2) is working (only destination address is in output). But I need to find out the path of ping.

Traceroute only works with L3, so its not possible to find route. So i use flow-tables in switches, where is shown through which port the path goes.

For example, if I want to know the path of mac address: 66:00:00:00:00 a look at the output port. And thanks to ryu gui topology is easy to find way.

try to traceroute via the host using xterm, not from mininet cli. try with more than two hosts.
