Traceroute ICMP option doesn't work

[M K Verma]

Do you guys see traceroute -6 www.cisco.com completing for you ?

The same command with -I(ICMP) completes in Linux PC.

Will this be fixed someday on the Busybox? There is a bug that's still open
apparently.

traceroute -6 to some of the sites from Busybox never completes.

MK Verma
