Packets with an expired TTL are always punted to the processor, so it
can send the correct ICMP message (TTL expired) back to the sending
host. It's certainly going to be slower than CEF/Fast/whatever
switching it.

I just found on Google a doc that says that some routers would take some
packets down a slow path (Software) versus the fast path (CEF, hardwared
etc...)

From my ISP NOC experience years ago, I have seen this often and
customers
question it. All the ISP has to do to verify they are good, is a router
to
router ping. An ISP backbone SLA is only ever hop to hop and will not
consider times for multiple hops. They are probably having to 007 some
path
due to federal regulations. You also had a good point, not being a
customer
of theirs would not even get you in the door.

noticed this. Even if I had an issue, I am not a customer of the transit

so not sure I would get help

I am thinking it could be a possible "route back" issue. I do think
there
is enough there to contact the provider (if you are a customer) and have
them look at it from there point of view. Hard to say at this point.
