Can someone explain this trace to me. How on earth did the 10.0.0.0 network get inserted into the last hop?

Some naughty person used RFC1918 address space to number their point-to-point links? That's OK, until they throw an ICMP error that gets tossed by a border router that does bogon filtering. Single biggest reason why Path MTU Discovery doesn't work, except for maybe sites that stomp on all the ICMP traffic they see.... -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
