Description Michal Sekletar 2013-09-17 14:45:13 UTC

Description of problem:
When in report mode with configured number of cycles, mtr exits when number of cycles is reached. However some packets are still on the way, now mtr doesn't wait for them thus producing inaccurate statistics.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mtr-0.84-2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mtr -r -c 10 www.stanford.edu

Actual results:
Packet loss reported for the destination host

Expected results:
No packet loss reported for the destination host

Additional info:
This bug was not entirely correctly fixed in mtr-0.81 (we always sent out more packets to each host then configured number of cycles), but then patch for this got removed in v0.82 without mentioning this in NEWS.

Bug was originally reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mtr/+bug/776211

Reproducer might depend on your geographic location and hopcount to the destination host.
