Hi,

I have a couple traces to share:

They'll look like crap without monospace font, and I don't wanna use 
HTML cuz the content of my message will be torn out of the email and 
replaced with a web link.  So, adjust your fonts + screen size 
accordingly to properly view the traces.

The only difference between them is the source address.  Both addresses 
are bound to that router.  That router holds IPIP tunnels to every 
ENCAP.txt network.  Since 44.0.0.1 is not one of these networks, there 
is no tunnel that covers that IP, so the packets go over the regular 
internet.  We BGP announce 44.24.242.22, so the trace from that IP 
should succeed in theory.

Can someone explain what's breaking here and how to fix it?

Thanks,

--Bart
