This is probably a really daft question, but one that I just cant understand
Im living in the lisburn (lisb) region, not sure what UBR that is? Anyway
Depending on the time of day, I notice that when I tracert the same website such as google.co.uk. The route in which it takes differs.
For example, earlier today the route was:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>tracert www.google.co.uk
Tracing route to www.l.google.com [209.85.229.104]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.0.0.1
2 10 ms 7 ms 7 ms lisb-cmts-03-lback-20.network.virginmedia.net
3 9 ms 7 ms 35 ms belf-t3core-1a-ge-200-1624.network.virginmedia.n
et [213.105.207.69]

12 31 ms 31 ms 31 ms ww-in-f104.google.com [209.85.229.104]
Trace complete.
However, it then changed whereby after the Belfast (Belf) hop it then went through Dublin.
Is it normal for the route to change like this so frequently? I only picked up on it after noticing that going through dublin is slower than other routes.
Just curious to know what way the VM network is setup
Thanks
