Dear list,
I recently found a ‘weird’ traceroute measurement record in the sense that:
with paris id set, it has different IP addresses for a given hop;
after it reached the destination, it tried one more hop;
the final hop reported abnormally small RTT.
I’d appreciate your views on how this happened.
Here is how to identify the measurement in question: (the concerned record is as well provided at the end the mail)
from ripe.atlas.cousteau import AtlasResultsRequest
filters = dict(msm_id=5010, probe_ids=[10460], start=1482177890, stop=1482177900)
_, results = AtlasResultsRequest(**filters).create()
It’s a IPv4 traceroute measurement toward DNS b root, 192.228.79.201.
What you’ll see is:
starting from hop 14, the 3 measurements for the same hop come from different IP address:
hop 14: 184.105.80.202, 72.52.92.122
hop 15: 72.52.92.122, 216.218.223.28
hop 16: 216.218.223.28, 130.152.181.189
hop 17: 130.152.181.189, 206.117.5.22
hop 18: 206.117.5.22, 192.228.79.201
hop 19: 192.228.79.201
My first doubt is with Paris traceroute is it still possible that response IP can change due to LB mechanism on the returning path?
At hop 18, the traceroute actually already reached the destination, but it continued to perform the hop 19, why?
At hop 19, there is one measurement from 192.228.79.201 reporting abnormally small RTT of 0.449ms. How come? Can that happen to other measurements as well, under what circumstances?
The above listed neighbouring hops always share one IP address, which makes it seem like a data formatting issue. Is there a known bug?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Best regards,
wenqin
Here below the measurement in question:
