Hi,

Here are the results of a pathping -n command from the network i;ve
just started working at:

Hop RTT Lost/Sent = Pct Lost/Sent = Pct Address

1 4ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% zz.zz.42.190

8 7ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% ww.ww.31.60

Does anyone know what is happening to the 10.xx.xx.xx routers?

I'm a bit confused by it all actually. How can a private ip network
(10.xx.xx.xx) interact with the public addresses like this?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. all numbers that have been replaced with letters are public
addresses. All addresses that have the same letters are replacing the
same numbers. E.g zz.zz replaces the same number on all addresses.
 
One of the transport providers is using private ip addresses between their
routers. This is perfectly acceptable, although may add some security risk.
Public Ip addresses can be routed to private ones and vice-versa as long as
the routes are local (i.e. not border gateway routes).

Thanks Kurt,

Though I'm still unsure why the 10.xx.xx.xx routers display 100% packet
loss in the PathPing command. I assume this is a routing issue as well?

Ya, you can't ping them because your local ISPs routers won't route the
private IP addresses across the Internet.
