Hi,

This can be very simple but I forgot where I put the explanation to this.

Thus anyone knew or have a link to the explanation why the first packet in hop 5 in "First traceroute to 192.168.8.1" have a high latency?

- All the devices are routers.

- No problem with the link.

- No error in the interface.

- All interface is hardcoded.

- Not congested.

- Router is idle (not busy).

- No problem with routing.

Thanks,

Dandy
