That is tough to capture because the problem is intermittent. When I retry it seems to come back and vice versa. Instead I ran the traceroute command 10 times and stored the output in trial_1.txt, trial_2.txt, ... trial_10.txt in http://kamaraju.xyz/tmp/network_issues/ Command used: $ for i in `seq 1 10`; do traceroute 8.8.8.8 > trial_$i.txt; done I see a lot of differences between trial_6.txt and trial_4.txt. Does that mean anything or is this variation expected? $ cat trial_6.txt traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 * be3295.ccr31.jfk05.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.80.2) 2.131 ms be3294.ccr31.jfk05.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.47.218) 2.078 ms 7 level3.dfw03.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.12.18) 1.905 ms 1.906 ms 2.038 ms 8 if-ae-12-2.tcore1.n75-new-york.as6453.net (66.110.96.5) 2.274 ms 2.271 ms if-ae-12-4.tcore1.n75-new-york.as6453.net (66.110.96.59) 2.257 ms 9 72.14.195.232 (72.14.195.232) 3.073 ms 3.074 ms * 10 * * * 11 * * * 12 * 108.170.235.183 (108.170.235.183) 2.605 ms 108.170.238.203 (108.170.238.203) 2.794 ms 13 google-public-dns-a.google.com (8.8.8.8) 2.182 ms 2.084 ms 2.044 ms $ cat trial_4.txt traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 38.76.11.1 (38.76.11.1) 0.416 ms 0.359 ms 0.412 ms 2 gi0-2-0-6.rcr51.ewr04.atlas.cogentco.com (38.122.117.97) 1.213 ms 1.197 ms 1.208 ms 3 be3657.rcr21.ewr03.atlas.cogentco.com (154.24.33.169) 1.620 ms 1.514 ms 1.584 ms 4 be2601.rcr24.jfk01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.40.49) 2.044 ms * * 5 * * * 6 * be3294.ccr31.jfk05.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.47.218) 2.205 ms be3295.ccr31.jfk05.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.80.2) 2.085 ms 7 level3.dfw03.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.12.18) 1.674 ms 1.657 ms 1.745 ms 8 if-ae-12-2.tcore1.n75-new-york.as6453.net (66.110.96.5) 2.147 ms 2.232 ms if-ae-12-4.tcore1.n75-new-york.as6453.net (66.110.96.59) 2.181 ms 9 72.14.195.232 (72.14.195.232) 2.772 ms 2.766 ms 2.756 ms 10 * * * 11 * * 72.14.234.64 (72.14.234.64) 4.559 ms 12 209.85.243.193 (209.85.243.193) 2.346 ms 108.170.235.181 (108.170.235.181) 2.933 ms 74.125.37.97 (74.125.37.97) 2.650 ms 13 google-public-dns-a.google.com (8.8.8.8) 2.204 ms 2.200 ms 2.231 ms thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
