What values in the fields for the Hops would be considered problematic or unacceptable?
In the AvgDelay/ms column look for hops where the delay increases significantly compared to the other hops and the delay seems to affect all other hops greater in value. An example would be a report where the average delay jumps from 15ms to 35ms from hop 14 to 15. All hops 16 and above are approximately 35ms or greater. This means a significant delay is induced between hops 14 and 15. Because hops 16 and above stay in the 35ms or greater range, it suggests the increase delay from hops 14 to 15 was not caused by the routers response to a ping packet. If one of the problems with the Internet connection is delay or latency, then this could be a contributing source. If you believe a hop is inducing delay on the destination IP address, click on the hops IP address link to compare its delay over time with the delay on the destination address. The time range of this report can be narrowed down to as fine a granularity as 16 minutes in 1 minute segments. Look at the line graph of each IP addr
