You would NOT see the same effect with packets of e.g. the same TCP session, so this (multipath forwarding) is usually no problem (as for TCP and UDP applications there is no reordering happening). So your analysis results (traceroute) are misleading for most real-life applications. I agree that it's irritating and I personally favor using aggregated SONET/Ethernet devices (IEEE 801.3ad) to bundle parallel lines if possible. Best regards, Daniel
Good point Daniel. Perhaps the researchers should be using Layer Four traceroute. John
