All,

When performing a trace on an IP address (for "testing purposes we'll use
10.1.2.3) this is the result I get:

router#trace 10.1.2.3

Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 10.1.2.3

  1 192.1.2.2 4 msec
    192.1.2.10 4 msec
    192.1.2.2 4 msec
  2 10.1.2.3 0 msec 4 msec 4 msec
  3  *  *  * 
  4  *  *  * 
  5  *  *  * 
  6  *  *  * 

This to me shows that I am still trying to find a path to the IP
address...but if the IP Address is returned at the 2nd hop, why is the trace
still continuing? I thought that it would stop when the trace has the
"path". Also note that when a "ping" is performed it returns the infamous
"....."

This has really got me perplexed, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe I am just not understanding something about the trace command/ICMP.
