Traceroute Question

[Vineet Mehta <vineet () linux com kw>]

Hi all,

While trying to do traceroute on one of the server i get the following
reply:

$traceroute a.b.c.d
 1  192.168.0.254 (192.168.0.254)  0.442 ms  0.397 ms  0.358 ms
 2  62.150.42.1 (62.150.42.1)  1.951 ms  1.315 ms  1.249 ms
 3  172.17.8.149 (172.17.8.149)  43.577 ms  23.481 ms  17.653 ms
 4  border.qualitynet.net (195.226.227.1)  19.935 ms  20.902 ms  21.896
ms
 5  isp.qualitynet.net (195.226.227.10)  19.928 ms  23.302 ms  21.839 ms
 6  192.168.226.38 (192.168.226.38)  71.321 ms  282.457 ms *

My Question is why I am getting 192.168.226.38 non-route able address
output in traceroute reply? As far as i think these private address
space is not route able on the internet.

Any sugestions?
