Group,
I have a question on the traceroute. When doing the traceroute,
intermediate routers sends back the ICMP "time exceeded" reply with its
own source-ip. How the router could correlate this reply to the
original trace route request ?? I could be sending multiple
simultaneous traceroutes ! What is the mechanism used here that makes
router to correlate the icmp exceeded reply coming from an intermediate
router to a specific trace-route request ??
