Hmm, I didn't know that traceroute sent ICMP packets by default. Are you sure you are talking about /usr/sbin/traceroute? Anyway, from my personal experience, ifconfig/route/ping/traceroute/snmpnetstat are often used together to diagnose problems (or just waste time and bandwidth). -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 is out!
