packet loss question

Thu Jul 7 19:32:18 UTC 2016

Hi Philip,

I can't address your immediate concern, but I do have some hints
regarding traceroute:

1/ Please review the excellent presentation from RA{T,S}:
    https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog47/presentations/Sunday/RAS_Traceroute_N47_Sun.pdf
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1IaRAVGPEE

2/ When you run mtr, make sure to run it with the '-w' argument for
easier to read reverse DNS entries.

Kind regards,

Job
