private address in traceroute results
- by misteryes
I use traceroute to check paths on a remote host, and I notice that there are some private IPs, like 10.230.10.1
bash-4.0# traceroute -T 132.227.62.122
traceroute to 132.227.62.122 (132.227.62.122), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 194.199.68.161 (194.199.68.161) 1.103 ms 1.107 ms 1.097 ms
2 sw-ptu.univ.run (10.230.10.1) 1.535 ms 1.625 ms 2.172 ms
3 sw-univ-gazelle.univ.run (10.10.20.1) 6.891 ms 6.937 ms 6.927 ms
4 10.10.5.6 (10.10.5.6) 1.544 ms 1.517 ms 1.518 ms
why there are private addresses near the host?
what are the purposes that these private addresses are used? I mean why they want to put the public IP behind private IPs?
thanks!
