Re: [Networking] "gateway" vs. traceroute

Google MPLS. Also, if you are PPPoE the trace could be stripping out the PPPoE concentrator IP.

Thanks very much! (I'm not on PPPoE by the way.) Looks like I have some reading to do!

Not sure how MPLS would come into this particular problem.

But I see 2 possibilities, 1: The gateway is not reducing the TTL by 1 thus the packet goes trough without expiring, or 2: The gateway is responding to the TTL expired with a different one of its IP addresses and the first Verizon hop you see is probably really it.

I'm leaning on #2
