FBSD 4.5

i am not sure why this is, or if it is something
that 'needs' correction - but if i traceroute
from 2 different endpoints - to each other,
i get VASTLY different results.  from what
i understand of ICMP (tiny bit) this should
not occur - ie - each hop should be measured
individually regardless of the speed of the endpoints.

the precision from a modem link to the net
is an order of magnitude off from a cable
connection to the net:
