Hi all!

Whenever we do a traceroute from our Sprint connection to a host in the
HiNet network, we get timed out in the Sprint/HiNet link, as follows:

Tracing route to w3.hinet.net [168.95.1.82]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1   138 ms   116 ms   113 ms  pi-ph-ts01.pacific.net.ph [210.23.234.128]

11   547 ms   556 ms   547 ms  w3.hinet.net [168.95.1.82]

Trace complete.

Line 8 is always like this and a customer of ours is complaining about it.
Is this a time out or congestion or something else?
