[ale] Weird/fun traceroute someone sent me

[Ken Cochran]

Hey ALE folk, umm, can someone 'splain me How Dey Do Dat?

PC (Windows I'd guess):
tracert -h 250 204.244.252.35

MAC/Unix (& I'd guess Linux):
traceroute -m 250 204.244.252.35

I "sorta" understand the underpinnings of traceroute, in
that it works off ICMP echo-requests (ping) with the TTL
"fudged" to sorta bring on an exception condition that's of
use other than an "error."  But just what's going on "here?"
FAQ/Doc/FMs to RT are of course, welcome.  :)  Thanks, -kc
