4. Check the Node list and the Pkts, Min.(ms), Max.(ms) and Avg.(ms) statistics for
each node in the list.
Table 8.4: Traceroute Results
Result Description
Node IP address corresponding to a network node detected by the
Traceroute test. The are displayed in a list following the same
order than they have been detected by the probe packets.
Pkts Number of ICMP Time to live exceeded messages received
from a particular node in the path.
Min. (ms) Minimum delay between the probe packet transmission and
the corresponding ICMP reply reception event computed
over all request / reply pairs for a particular node
The Traceroute minimum delay can be considered an esti-
mate of the minimum round trip delay between the source
and the node but the Traceroute delay may include protocol
processing delays in intermediate network elements.
Max. (ms) Maximum delay between the probe packet transmission and
the corresponding ICMP reply reception event computed
over all request / reply pairs for a particular node.
The maximum delay figure is subject to the same non-zero
processing delay uncertainties than the Min. (ms) delay
Avg. (ms) Maximum delay between the probe packet transmission and
the corresponding ICMP reply reception event computed
over all request / reply pairs for a particular node.
The mean ping delay is subject to the same processing delay
uncertainties than the Min. (ms) delay.
