Router missing in traceroute

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I have a pretty simple problem (I guess :open_mouth:)
Doing a traceroute to one of my IPs I get:

traceroute to 9.xxx.xxx.2 (9.xxx.xxx.2), 64 hops max, 72 byte packets
[...]
 7  ac.provider (6.xxx.xxx.1)  62.172 ms  64.967 ms  59.974 ms
 8  9.xxx.xxx.2 (9.xxx.xxx.2)  173.959 ms  117.509 ms  145.809 ms

My problem is there is a router between 7 and 8 that is not appearing.
This router is connected to the internet via PPPoE and has hop 8 on itā€™s ā€œinsideā€.
So I expected to either see (6.xxx.xxx.50 PPPoE assigned IP) or (9.xxx.xxx.1 IP for inside network) in the traceroute output?

Best regards

Max

seems like somebody on that router is playing with ttl =)

Iā€™ll ask the RouterOS gnomes because I didnā€™t play with the ttl :laughing:

huh, not on that router, but on 7th hop then =)

what do you see when doing tracerout in opposite direction?

5 
traceroute to remote.endpoint (8.xxx.xxx.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  router (9.xxx.xxx.1)  0.463 ms  1.036 ms  1.004 ms
 2  ac.provider (6.xxx.xxx.1)  16.176 ms  18.056 ms  18.675 ms
[...]

This is as expected.
