Not sure if this is an issue or if it's by design or if it's "just the way it is" :-) ...<br><br>When tracing to a host like updates.zdnet.com (where there are unresponsive "hops" just before the target hop), ping plotter seems to pause for about 5-7 seconds or so after a few passes, then perform a few more passes and pause again, etc. I imagine this has to do with waiting for those unresponsive hops to time-out and threads and such. Are there any plans in the future to somehow eliminate those pauses? Thanks :-)<br><br>Jason<br><br>
