Type and version: SPARC/5 8.2.15
Display type: cgsix
What were you trying to do?
Attempting to use "traceroute -I" on Solaris.
What's wrong:
For some reason there is no reply to the ICMP packets from the last
hop.. Whileas on NetBSD it works well:
pepsi% traceroute -I pca
[...]
2 E40-RTR-FDDI.MIT.EDU (18.168.0.11) 1.608 ms 3.091 ms 3.505 ms
3 * * *
lm% traceroute -I pca
[...]
2 E40-RTR-FDDI.MIT.EDU (18.168.0.11) 2.331 ms 2.912 ms 2.277 ms
3 PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU (18.69.0.28) 2.122 ms 2.306 ms 1.957 ms
(lm is a NetBSD-Athena machine)
tcpdump shows for pepsi:
10:28:31.554425 18.239.2.240 > 18.69.0.28: icmp: echo request (DF)
10:28:31.555927 18.168.0.11 > 18.239.2.240: icmp: time exceeded in-transit
10:28:31.561857 18.239.2.240 > 18.69.0.28: icmp: echo request (DF)
and no reply to the third packet, whileas for lm:
10:28:59.770241 18.239.2.130 > 18.69.0.28: icmp: echo request
10:28:59.775452 18.168.0.11 > 18.239.2.130: icmp: time exceeded in-transit
10:28:59.779285 18.239.2.130 > 18.69.0.28: icmp: echo request
10:28:59.780135 18.69.0.28 > 18.239.2.130: icmp: echo reply
This doesn't appear to be PCA-specific either.
What should have happened:
The traceroute should have completed and not timed out on the last
hop.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
traceroute(8), tcpdump(1)
