Is There Increased Latency at Middle Hops Which Remains Constant to the Last Visible Destination?

Traceroute results which show increased latency on a middle hop which remains similar all the way through to the destination do not indicate a network problem. This can be an artifact of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. Example Hop 8: Starting at Hop 8, you can notice that the RTTs jump up to the 84 to 86 ms range. The RTT stays relatively constant to the last visible destination, so a problem is not indicated.
