Then that's a question for the kernel people, not us. > neither do i find these addresses in the atTable of the router. Network management is simply concerned with reporting whatever information is available.

That seems reasonable, if you think about it. If you have to broadcast a packet to get it to the next router, then there's no sensible way to report which box this will be. It's not clear whether you're talking about "snmptraceroute" or the standard traceroute command. The latter would again be a question for the networking experts, rather than us.
