You would NOT see the same effect with packets of e.g. the same TCP

TCP and UDP applications there is no reordering happening). So your
analysis results (traceroute) are misleading for most real-life
applications. I agree that it's irritating and I personally favor
using aggregated SONET/Ethernet devices (IEEE 801.3ad) to bundle
parallel lines if possible.

Good point Daniel.

Perhaps the researchers should be using Layer Four traceroute.
