okay, i was wrong in my understanding on traceroute.
in linux it uses UDP by default and the -U option just prevents it
from incrementing portnumbers:
" -U --udp Use UDP to particular port for tracerouting
(instead of increasing the port per each probe),
default port is 53"
plain old traceroutes to the afs servers work just fine. so i'm back
to square-one trying to figure out why afs is so slow.
thanks for your attempts to help David, this appears to be an afs problem.
i'll have to sit down and do some benchmarking on the vpn in general
and compare to afs.
