      Hi, all

      So I've noticed recently that my first hop out of my router is always 172.0.0.1 which is an AT&T U-verse IP. My ISP is Bright House. This seems odd to me usually traffic will go though the ISPs network for the first hop or two.
      Has anyone else seen anything similar to this?

          your sure its not 127.0.0.1??  172.0.0.1 seems odd…

          Does your trace return this for the name?

          ;; ANSWER SECTION:
          1.0.0.172.in-addr.arpa. 7200    IN      PTR    172-0-0-1.lightspeed.brhmal.sbcglobal.net.

          Can you post up this traceroute..  Are you in Birmingham, Alabama area??  That is what I believe brhmal stands for.
