Hi: In attempting to prove that there's troubles on my providers network, I have been using traceroutes from an external server (netcom.com) to my server (vpm.com). There's definately a problem and that started around May 15th. They are starting to listen and agree that there's a problem. Yesterday, they switched routers and now we're seeing the probes reporting that they're going through the router twice, see lines 2 & 3 below. traceroute to netcom.com (192.100.81.100), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 207.49.29.1 (207.49.29.1) 2.350 ms 1.474 ms 1.571 ms 2 eli-xmission.elix.net (206.29.193.17) 234.097 ms 238.531 ms 269.348 ms 3 eli-xmission.elix.net (206.29.193.17) 231.281 ms 187.589 ms 200.228 ms 4 core1-fddi.SaltLake.elix.net (207.0.56.17) 239.250 ms 185.512 ms 161.534 They are telling us that FreeBSD & Linux's traceroute program is broken. I didn't see this before the move, so I need some input from you someone who may know more than I do so I can have some ammunition to discount their thoery. I don't see the router twice when I do a traceroute from netcom.com, which runs SunOS. Another thing is I can't do a traceroute using the -s <ip_address>. It just times out. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
