If data packets don't necessarily take the same route every time then how does tracing a route help in understanding the problem with a network?
Also I traced route to a website at two different times and both of the times it showed a different destination address.. How can the address of the website change..
If I discover the problem after seeing the report of trace route is there anything that I can do to troubleshoot it or is it entirely upto the ISP?
I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions
