Yeah overloaded control plane, or a rate limit on ICMP/traceroute, and it’s quite possible the control plane has a route back to you that is different from the route that is used in forwarding actual traffic…and that route may for example pass through a firewall. Traceroute can only show you the outbound path, not the route any of those devices take to get back to you.
If it’s just the one hop and everything after it is normal then it doesn’t matter. Even if tracert looks bad all around I wouldn’t put any stock in that if pings to the destination look normal. -Adam From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of castarritt Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2023 2:27 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT tracert Unless that delay shows up for all hops past that one, it was likely just a router with an overloaded control plane that can't respond to ICMP, and not anything that affects traffic forwarded through it.

Working better now. But all of you had a much different tracert than I did. I had a multple second delay between cogents last node and godaddy.
