Why on god's green earth do network operators allow such nonsense as this? FWIW, I get the same result from Comcast residential coax service from Santa Clara, CA using a plain ol' *nix UDP traceroute. (This is not ICMP specific.) raceroute 10.10.1.1 traceroute to 10.10.1.1 (10.10.1.1), 64 hops max, 44 byte packets [snip my internal net] 3 12.244.25.145 (12.244.25.145) 17.315 ms 17.378 ms 17.492 ms 4 12.244.67.17 (12.244.67.17) 33.548 ms 23.702 ms 13.066 ms 5 12.244.72.206 (12.244.72.206) 21.554 ms 18.118 ms 18.589 ms 6 gbr2-p50.sffca.ip.att.net (12.123.13.62) 23.677 ms 31.973 ms 18.647 ms 7 tbr1-p012702.sffca.ip.att.net (12.122.11.69) 24.447 ms 19.266 ms 19.036 ms 8 tbr1-cl2.sl9mo.ip.att.net (12.122.10.41) 73.801 ms 66.745 ms 71.541 ms 9 gbr2-p10.sl9mo.ip.att.net (12.122.11.102) 68.524 ms 62.157 ms 66.172 ms 10 gar1-p370.sl9mo.ip.att.net (12.123.24.213) 68.568 ms 65.325 ms 62.455 ms 11 12-220-0-69.client.insightBB.com (12.220.0.69) 93.072 ms 98.102 ms 91.132 ms 12 12-220-7-198.client.insightBB.com (12.220.7.198) 88.131 ms 83.943 ms 85.713 ms 13 10.10.1.1 (10.10.1.1) 159.507 ms 101.956 ms 95.575 ms I know that Comcast (formerly AT&T BB) uses the 10-net internally on their transit networks so they can't just blackhole the stuff. Insight's ISP is AT&T (now Comcast?). Looking quickly at the AT&T looking glass, Insight appears to not have its own AS. RFC1918 successfully crossing between ASes would be a Very Bad Thing. However, it looks like it is completely within AT&T here. Not a Good Thing, but not the end of the world. For all I know, 10.10.1.1 might be AT&T equipment using their internal 10-net. Traceroute -I 10.10.1.1 produces the following: -- Crist J.
