[c-nsp] Traceroute results masking path to destination

[Randy Heimann]

Hello,

 

I am having some difficulty understanding some trace route results that I am
receiving from the network I am on.  If I tracert from my location (France),
the results are all masked with the destination address (Google's public
DNS).  I understand that something in the network is substituting the actual
hop address with the dest. address, but I do not completely understand why
this is happening or how it is being accomplished.  

I presume the device right after 10.164.17.2 is the culprit; would this be a
firewall, proxy, or some other security device?

When I try to traceroute from the outside into my network, I get Request
time outs.

 

Appreciate any insight into this.

 

Regards,

Randy
