chances are, it's not skipping them.... but without an icmp reply from that
router, it won't register. The ttl still gets decremented and the packet
dropped, the tracing station then sends another icmp packet with a ttl of
one hop past the previous. If that router is answering icmp requests, it
will then decrement the ttl and drop the packet, then answer back via icmp.
The station then starts the process all over again, increasing the ttl by
one each time until it hits the destination.
Now, if you are tracing to the same destination time and time again and
sometimes you get a full trace and other times you don't, thew routers might
just be too busy to respond to icmp requests.

sometimes when I do a traceroute it skeeps some routers. Is there any
way to adjusst time out or something to get traceroute to show all the
routers that packet is going through?
