traceroute & ping

OSR 6.0.0 + MP1

'traceroute' first get three replies from myself.

# traceroute www.mit.edu
traceroute to www.mit.edu (18.7.22.83), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 jpradley (66.167.21.66) 0.360 ms 0.305 ms 0.203 ms
2 jpradley (66.167.21.66) 0.250 ms 8.047 ms 0.000 ms
3 jpradley (66.167.21.66) 0.385 ms 0.335 ms 0.491 ms
4 ge-6-1.car4.NewYork.Level3.net (63.214.53.141) 84.023 ms .....


Ping is also strange: I get scads of DUPS for each ping:

ping -c 2 www.mit.edu
PING www.mit.edu (18.7.22.83): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from WWW.MIT.EDU (18.7.22.83): icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=283.524 ms
64 bytes from WWW.MIT.EDU (18.7.22.83): icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=438.660 ms (DUP)
64 bytes from WWW.MIT.EDU (18.7.22.83): icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=438.713 ms (DUP)
64 bytes from WWW.MIT.EDU (18.7.22.83): icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=438.689 ms (DUP)
.... more of those...

--- www.mit.edu ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, +29 duplicates, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 15.594/420.949/442.678 ms

I cannot recall when I last used either traeroute or ping; it may be
since Covad replaced my router a couple of weeks ago...
