In Traceroute why can the round-trip delay of packet be different than the round-trip delay of packet to the exact same router?   this is not possible, the round-trip delay to the same router should be identical (similarism)   because Traceroute increments a delay counter after each transmission (incremental)   because the queuing delays within the network vary with time (dynamic)

Question

In Traceroute why can the round-trip delay of packet <n> be different than the round-trip delay of packet <n+1> to the exact same router?

 

this is not possible, the round-trip delay to the same router should be identical (similarism)

 

because Traceroute increments a delay counter after each transmission (incremental)

 

because the queuing delays within the network vary with time (dynamic)
