traceroute command: replacement or alternative

On recent Linux based operating systems there is no ifconfig and traceroute. Some functionality has been incorporated into the ip utility (see here for examples), but I have not found a replacement for the traceroute command. I know that I can do yum install net-tools or yum install traceroute when I am on CentOS or RHEL but our servers come preinstalled without that command and while we are allowed to sudo certain commands installing additional software is always a problem
