I have seen different explanations of how to interpret tracert results.
Explanation 1: the results of each hop are calculated from hop 1 to 2; from 2 to 3; from 3 to 4, etc.
Explanation 2: the results of each hop are calculated from hop 1 to 2; from 1 to 3; from 1 4, etc.
If #2 is correct, do the intermediate hops have any impact on hops further down the path?
Does anyone know which is correct? I have looked on various sites on the Internet and have come across both explanations.
