[TriLUG] Understanding Traceroute

[James Jones]

Aaron & all,

My cable modem is Zyxel Prestige 900. It provides me with 5 ip
addresses. Because of the associated ip addresses, the gateway is
probably part of the modem as well. I get different results depending
on which ip & router I am using. Here is my present network:

 traceroute raleigh-coc.org
traceroute to raleigh-coc.org (96.10.17.238), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
