Each hop in a traceroute represents a -new- packet (actually 3) being sent out. Hence "Hopping back upstream" during BGP flap state. Remember "The Matrix" ? There is no spoon. ;) Jon Stanley wrote:
The part that I was particularly concerned about was where it left qwest for BBNPlanet and got right back on Qwest. I went ahead and gave them a call (at the number listed on Jared's page), and they asked for a traceroute, etc. I gave them all the research that I had done and they just kinda fell silent when they saw my email to them. Then they said "We'll have our NOC group take a look at this.". I thought that I had called the NOC!!!! Yet more examples of clueless morons manning the phones. (Not saying that my employer is not guilty of the same :-( ),
