Here is an example:
You can see, it takes me 17 hops to connect to the forums, which is not an abnormal amount. Traceroute tries each hop (connection handoff) 3 times so you can see if a specific hop is varying wildly. That is why there are 3 columns of response times. In my case, I have no hops over 200ms, and they are not very different from each other over 3 trials.
