Also true, but please re-examine this traceroute: > >traceroute to ns1.sierra.net (207.135.224.247), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets > > 9 207.49.13.50 (207.49.13.50) 114 ms 117 ms 112 ms > >10 207.14.235.22 (207.14.235.22) 112 ms 116 ms 113 ms > >11 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 116 ms 108 ms 114 ms > >12 rock.sierra.net (207.135.224.247) 116 ms 112 ms 113 ms You can have an internal mesh made up of entireley rfc1918 address space, and not leak these routes to the rest of the world, I've only once caught MCI leaking stuff from a test lab, which was kinda annoying, but not really anything bad, and a polite e-mail message to them got an immediate fix of the problem. that next-hop is only relevant to someones local lan, but you can't traceroute to 10.0.0.2, otherwise someone is doing something naughty. I ran into this before I realized this could be done in this fashion, and asked a few questions around and got an answer as to how it worked. If your parser is having problems with this message, please ask me any questions, and I can clarify any questions you have. - jared -- [email protected] - CICNET --------- [email protected] - Nether Network "I've got a question" "What is it?"
