I have my trace interval set at 1 sec. Every second, or every-other second my number of hops to my destination increase/decreases with these route changes. When I run the ping plotter over my other dsl (digizip) to the same destination, I don't see any of these route changes and PL% is zero. Interestingly, the route with the PL% (using Qwest) clocks in at 80ms, while the other route with zero PL% runs at 180ms (different paths probably accounting for the differences).<br>The data I am running over these lines must be as clean as possible. I want to be sure packets won't get dropped (or at least very minimally).<br>The "re-routing" is very extreme (and possibly the cause/reason for the packet losses?), every trace has a different 3rd thru 13, 14, etc. (up to the final) hop. While another identical computer at the same location going to the same destination via a different ISP/DSL shows no route changes at all, both with ping plotter set up identically???<br><br><br>
