Let me start by saying, that I'm not a network pro and trying to learn.

We have some issues with Office 365 and when I try to ping their IP (132.245.228.194) I get this result. Notice that in hop 7 the IP is my own IP - is that normal?

Here's the trace result...

Is this normal?

Thanks

  • The name server on IP 132.245.228.194 is outlook.office365.com, tcpiputils.com/browse/ip-address/132.245.228.194 so it seems to be normal

  • Yeah, but I'm confused why trace hops out ouf my network and suddently in hop 7 is back in my network - is this normal?

  • Its a router or firewall changing the TTL value. Traceroute is a bit of a "hack" in how it functions. Google for an explanation(there are plenty)
