Re: loose source route

I agree with Matt, if a network turns off LSRR, then I try to hand them the ticket. However, it seems that lots of sites either yield no human response at all, or get back to you a few days later. Not very helpful in the face of intermittent problems. So you're the one holding the trouble ticket with no tools and no help. I've thought a little about this over the past few months as more sites shut off LSRR, and it seems like a "ping" or "traceroute" server-client would really come in handy. No human interaction needed, I just request a ping/trace from site A going from A to B. Has anyone explored this or is it a silly idea and I'm being dense. /chris Chris Dorsey ESnet dorsey@es.net
