/tool traceroute example.com count=10How to read loss
The key rule: loss on an intermediate hop means nothing if later hops show none. Backbone routers answer probes last and often skip them. A real problem is loss that appears at some hop and stays until the end; then the network where it starts is to blame.
Delay
A delay increase that holds to the end is distance: Moscow to Frankfurt is about 40 ms, Europe to the US about 80–100 ms. A single slow hop in the middle with normal delay after it is not a problem either.
