Bob,

This problem has been going on for several months, as reported some
time ago in my Internet Monthly report. At the time, it appeared the
WIDEBAND (aka FATNET) gateways appeared the most involved and even
involved traffic fluttering between ARPANET and MILNET between the
same two sites. However, things may be changing so fast that the
apparent traceroute loops aren't really that, just rickety routes
flopping all over the place. Try a record-route option, assuming
you don't have far to go.
