Hello everyone,

I am an undergraduate student at University of Crete and as a part of my bachelor thesis, I am trying to integrate TraceMON

in a website. I used the example code that it was provided by the web page of TraceMON in RIPE Atlas website (https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/tools-tracemon/#embed), but I noticed something unexpected. The graph of the TraceMON was not taking the same path as the raw data of traceroutes. There were the right destinations/IPs, but in shuffled order.

Let's consider the example of measurement ID 26813196.

As you can see, in the raw data of the traceroute (https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/26813196/results/), it reaches the target IP (103.83.160.1) at 16th hop from probe 55564.

When I checked the graph in TraceMON on the RIPE Atlas website (https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/26813196/#!tracemon) (see attached: general.png), the traceroute from probe 55564 was represented in the picture graph.png. As you can see in the data file data.png, the destination IP was reached at 3rd hop instead of 16th, that was in the raw data of the traceroute. The same behavior can be observed for the probes 19648 and 32788.

Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance,

Andreas Siskos
