My obvious answer is it isn't a good tool Well, if you're looking at the numbers, and hops 1 to 12 are each adding 3-5ms to the RTT, and between 12 and 13 you get a hit for 400ms+, that tends to indicate a *possible* problem (or a satellite link ;) I'd not trust it any further than that, however... -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech Attachment:
