Ehhh... traceroutes can change. Routers on the internet route traffic via which ever path at that time has the lowest traffic load. So a trace in the AM may well use a different path then one in the PM.

Also, busy routers will not answer a trace/ping. ICMP packets (what ping/traceroute use) have a low priority. So if a router is busy, it won't answer the request.

OOO... and I was taking another frigg'n MS test. Bang Head
