Hi All
I often encounter a strange output every time I trace route to a remote
destination. 
I always miss one icmp packet in the last hop.
Something likes that
R2#traceroute 150.50.8.8
Type escape sequence to abort.

Those asterisks always appear (and delay for a while) every time I trace
route, from any router, any source to any destination, and every lab
that I have finished.  
My router is all 2500 with 12.2 IOS, 
Could anyone explain? 
TIA 
Phuong
P/s: there is no problem when I trace route from my router to a
destination on Internet.
