Hi all,

While trying to do traceroute on one of the server i get the following
reply:

$traceroute a.b.c.d
 1 192.168.0.254 (192.168.0.254) 0.442 ms 0.397 ms 0.358 ms
 2 62.150.42.1 (62.150.42.1) 1.951 ms 1.315 ms 1.249 ms
 3 172.17.8.149 (172.17.8.149) 43.577 ms 23.481 ms 17.653 ms
 4 border.qualitynet.net (195.226.227.1) 19.935 ms 20.902 ms 21.896
ms
 5 isp.qualitynet.net (195.226.227.10) 19.928 ms 23.302 ms 21.839 ms
 6 192.168.226.38 (192.168.226.38) 71.321 ms 282.457 ms *

My Question is why I am getting 192.168.226.38 non-route able address
output in traceroute reply? As far as i think these private address
space is not route able on the internet.

Any sugestions?

Vineet
