SubjectRe: linux-2.2.9/traceroute/packet loss
Date
Hello!

> that send 3 unreachables, like normal, linux does fine with.

Yes, Linux sends only 1 error message per second to each source with
bursts up to 6 by default.

It means only that loss measurements with traceroute
are completely bogus. At least, all the routers in our neighbourhood
answer exactly ONE of three traceroute probes 8)
