That is tough to capture because the problem is intermittent. When I
retry it seems to come back and vice versa. Instead I ran the
traceroute command 10 times and stored the output in trial_1.txt,
trial_2.txt, ... trial_10.txt in
http://kamaraju.xyz/tmp/network_issues/

Command used:
$ for i in `seq 1 10`; do traceroute 8.8.8.8 > trial_$i.txt; done

I see a lot of differences between trial_6.txt and trial_4.txt. Does
that mean anything or is this variation expected?

$ cat trial_6.txt
