Pingman Tools Home Forums PingPlotter PingPlotter Support Packet loss Hop 1 > Hop 2 > hop 3

Just curious if this is something i need to worry about? Its not ending up on the last hop.

I appreciate if someone can look at this!

Hey CoolBeans!

You're on the right track here - if it's not on the final hop, you don't need to worry about it. Basically, the short of it is that the devices throwing that loss are down-prioritizing ICMP TTL expired requests, which are what intermediate hops get. However, they're still passing packets fine - hence the final hop looking alright.

You can check out this article for a bit more information:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Ah very good thank you! I have another screen shot, im not sure what to do here but its affecting everything.
