That IP belongs to FLAG Telecom in Egypt. Might this be one of your ISP's routers?

[id10x]

sorry i stopped reading so i didnt see the reply ...

my isp is this :

http://www.linkdsl.com/LinkDSL_Code/Pages/Default.aspx

i know there is 3 flag sea cables here but there isnt a flag telecom isp maybe
link belong to them or have contract with them ..

i had bad isp before and good ones but i never had this zic zac thing and its driving
me mad and am about to leave them .

here is some tests i made today morning when the line was perfect in speed and in ping
on that same bf2 server u see above in check republic (my dsl speed is 1024/256 mb)

you see ping is again 100ms and that ip dose not show .. suddenly when it dose
my ping go up like you see above and also the speed get effected
and in the first tracer on top with that ip you see 17 hops but here u see 15 hops only .
i just didnt know why this happen because i never saw it before with other isp
is it because of the isp or international lines ,, i even thought that someone around the
area i live in has piked a line on my dsl ,, i herd it could happen easily ....

[edfair]

Could this be your ISP, or the upstream supplier, doing some load shifting? I've never had to worry about it but I know that network monitoring units have the capability of rerouting stuff on the fly in order to keep the system running.
