This is not the proper way to interpret traceroute information. Also, 3 pings is not sufficient to determine levels of packet loss statistically.
I suggest searching the archives regarding traceroute, or googling how to interpret them in regards to packet loss, as what you posted does not indicate what you think it does. -Blake On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 11:59 AM, Derek Ivey <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > We host a web application for a client and they've been complaining that > it's been slow since yesterday.
