>Description:

traceroute defaults to at most 30 hops. I am beginning to see sites
wich are farther away than that.
I think it's about time to change the default to a higher number...

>How-To-Repeat:

Got to <http://tracy.dent.niigata-u.ac.jp:8000/~suzuki/tracert.html>;
and traceroute to 194.246.250.222.

This route takes 37 hops to arrive.
