Since more and more are blocking source routing and breaking traceroute -g then those that block it at their router should at the very least make a WWW traceroute available from their system so as to diagnose those problems you mention. Almost all those that I have in my web site (http://www.ibm.net.il/traceroute) are customers connected to major ISPs. I think the 10 majors should have on their backbones a WWW traceroute as above. > >Curtis > Hank - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
