Adrian,

The traceroute utility that I used gave me a list of hops that the packet I was interested in transited and a time when it transited the hop. When the TTL was reached it would terminate the listing.

But if I can control your traffic I could change everything, couldn't I? I mean, with the ability to inject whatever I wanted, I could spoof traceroute, yes? I could filter for that traffic and return whatever I wanted. I could manufacture a series of packets showing that NYC and London were only 10ms apart in such a case. --Patrick
