RE: packet duplication

Just a note. Your TTL values in parentheses would be wrong... Traceroute
by default will start with a TTL = 1, which will get an ICMP TTL-Exceeded
message (because it counts down, and 0 is bad).

Even if it counted up, you have 7 hops listed before you show TTL=250. So
that wouldn't be possible anyway.

Good question. Implimentations that care about TTL values
complain when they pass this router. Running solaris snoop
during a trace shows that the (un)expected extra replies are
being received and ignorred by the program.
