Hello,
I try:
ping -R www.google.com
I get:
PING www.google.com (173.194.113.112) 56(124) bytes of data.
but the list of nodes does not appear, and I wait for more than 5 minutes.
traceroute www.google.com gives immediately the list of nodes.
This is fedora 18, iptables stopped (and flushed), firewalld stopped.
Could it be somehow due to not flushing firewalld rules ? (I don't
know much about firewalld)
-R ping only. Record route. Includes the RECORD_ROUTE option in
the ECHO_REQUEST packet and displays the route buffer on returned
packets. Note that the IP header is only large enough for nine
such routes. Many hosts ignore or discard this option.
I think "Many" should be replaced with "Most". :-)
