trace route result same hop but different destination ip I do traceroute in my router and I found result like this traceroute to 114.0.36.130, 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 114.0.17.30 (114.0.17.30) 3.49 ms 14.2 ms 2.65 ms 2 114.0.27.1 (114.0.27.1) 4.30 ms 3.84 ms 6.63 ms 3 114.0.1.213 (114.0.1.213) 9.38 ms 8.63 ms 10.2 ms 4 114.0.12.110 (114.0.12.110) 5.19 ms 4 114.0.2.38 (114.0.2.38) 4.49 ms 4 114.0.12.110 (114.0.12.110) 4.68 ms 5 114.0.34.33 (114.0.34.33) 4.58 ms 4.77 ms 5 114.0.33.194 (114.0.33.194) 6.41 ms 6 114.0.32.130 (114.0.32.130) 4.82 ms 6 114.0.34.14 (114.0.34.14) 4.83 ms 6 114.0.33.198 (114.0.33.198) 6.56 ms 7 114.0.36.130 (114.0.36.130) 6.74 ms 17.0 ms 6.09 ms From the result, I found there is some hop is same but destination ip is different. Could you help me to know about this issue? Thanks

The reason for that result on a trace is that, some ISP, does load balance in his Autonomus System, thats it: same destination across diferent ways.

This is the reason that you looks, in the same hop, ex: 4, 5 and 6, that one packet goes hrough every one of the links that can reach the destination.
