I agree with Dale. The problem should be with e2e TCP performance. Maybe there is misconfigured firewall which block SYN or ACK packet. Or, packet larger than 128B is dropped. As you can find in your data, ping and traceroute show different response speed. Maybe you could try layer4 traceroute, and try packet size bigger than 1000Byte. It will show you where the problem may exist. Joe ICMP or traceroute usually use small packet. --- Joe Maimon <jmaimon@ttec.com> wrote:

traceroute/tcptraceroute show packet loss and MUCH higher rtt than the corresponding direct pings on the reported hop entries.
Is this some sort of massaging or plain just "faking it"? Or is such things merely net-urban myth?
the vast majority of routers on the internet respond very differently to traffic 'directed at them' as opposed to traffic 'routed through them'.
Thanks for your reply.
I did include icmp echo directly to each hop as a comparison.
