Router issues with icmp?
 
Can't appear to traceroute out of ntl network, tcptrace is fine. Can anybody else confirm?

Code:
ping -c 20 news.bbc.co.uk

Re: Router issues with icmp?
 
They look fine to me, the timeouts could be due to an overloaded router as ICMP packets normally get dropped if traffic volume is high

ping works on icmp echo requests, so that, and the fact my tracert works suggests that't not the problem.

ICMP does have lower prority than TCP/UDP traffic though, so the router could be dropping the ICMP packets if it's "a bit busy".

Re: Router issues with icmp?
 
Thanks all.

The exact problem was severe SSH lag and timeouts when connecting to a specific server, I could SSH into to other machines fine. That's all working fine now, but I still can't traceroute anything outside the NTL network from home :wtf:
