We have been experiencing some problems with our server, and we suspect it might be due to routing issues within our ISPs network. When we did a traceroute from our server, this is what we got: traceroute to freefall.freebsd.org (204.216.27.21), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 10.128.4.13 (10.128.4.13) 12.350 ms 79.670 ms 12.336 ms 2 10.128.3.2 (10.128.3.2) 12.904 ms 12.847 ms 12.983 ms 3 tac02-enet0.rtr.agt.net (161.184.255.225) 13.098 ms 13.684 ms 13.814 ms 4 local1-atm0-0-111.tac.net (207.229.15.25) 18.424 ms 17.902 ms 17.792 ms 5 REGIONAL1-fe2-1-0.tac.net (205.233.111.39) 17.904 ms 21.189 ms 19.104 ms ...etc... as you will notice, our provider is using non-routable addresses (as seen in hop 1 and 2), and then they are using another wierd one (161.184.255.255) in hop 3 before it gets back out in to real world addresses. I don't understand everything about internet addressing, but is what they are doing a valid scheme, or is it looking for disaster? Any thoughts (and if you could point me to an RFC) on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
