If you're reporting an outage on the list, and you conducted a traceroute
that failed, remember to post it at the end of your message; it's usually
more helpful than not.

I personally recommend 'mtr -r -c 10' (accompanied with 'mtr -nr -c 10', since
sometimes you want all the IPs, and that's mtr's one blind spot), but any
trace is better than none, whether you're reporting a problem, a meetoo,
or a WFM.

Cheers,
