Bearing in mind, the problem is that I'm trying to understand

I set my packet size on my laptop to a low value:

And, then ran the traceroute:

Get a goot text on TCP/IP protocols and learn how TCP does it.
There is an ICMP message 'fragmentation needed but DF bit is on'.
The segment auto-sizing is an essential part of TCP.

If a sysadmin has killed the whole ICMP somewhere in the path,
there is little you can do, except whine to him.

Traceroute is not of much help here.

Just so I understand, are you saying that the web
(i.e., http://centos.org) is using ICMP?

Yes and no.

The data for a website is carried over TCP. The control commands
(e.g. "slow down you're filling up the pipe", or "that packet's waayyy
too big; make it smaller") are sent over ICMP. Pings and some traceroute
programs also use ICMP, but they use a different ICMP message type.

A competently configured firewall might be set up to block ICMP ping
requests. But there's no way that same firewall should be completely
and naively blocking all ICMP packets.

Thanks for that explanation.

What I gather is that the "problem" isn't how I'm running ping
or traceroute. The network problem is something more abstract.

Here's what I know:
- I seem to be the only one with this problem.
- It does NOT happen when I go to my neighbor's house using my PC.
- The problem comes and goes (and stays for months).
- Nothing gets past the hop before centos.org.
- I can't go around that penultimate router without using Tor.
- Since TOR works on all the PCs in the house, it's not the PCs.
and
- It's not how I'm running the web, traceroute, or ping.

Since the problem seems to be at the penultimate hop, is there
any way, other than TOR, to get around that hop (from my own
home network)?

Are there public proxies I can set up for Firefox?

In reply to#2425
The protocols layer and in some cases intertwine.  What you call "the
web" sits on top of a protocol called HTTP (HyperText Transfer
Protocol).  HTTP makes use of the services of TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol).  TCP makes use of IP (Internet Protocol).  IP will
make use of whatever link-layer protocol is available in its
sitaution.  For your end systems that will be "Ethernet" protocol over
your WiFi connection.

HTTP
TCP
IP
Ethernet/WiFi/whatnot

Within/alongside IP is ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol).  ICMP
is used to provide some "Hey, you should know this" kinds of messages
back to traffic sources.

So, simplifying a bit, when you try to access www.centos.org from your
web browser, the browser will generate an HTTP message the browswer
wants to get to HTTP at www.centos.org.  That HTTP message will be
handed-off to TCP to transmit in one or more TCP segments to TCP at
www.centos.org (segment = what a packet is called in the context of
TCP).  The TCP segment(s) will be handed off to IP, which will
encapsulate them in one or more IP datagrams (datagram = what a packet
is called in the context of IP) destined to the IP address of
www.centos.org.  IP will then hand its datagrams to the "data link"
layer (eg Ethernet etc) which will do its encapsulation.  It will then
go across the data link destined for IP at the "next hop" where the
data-link layer message will decapsulate the IP datagram and hand it
to IP at that hop.  IP at that hop will then decide what to do with
the datagram, which is being sent to the/an IP address for
www.centos.org.  There will probably be another "next hop" and so on
until the traffic arrives at www.centos.org.  IP at www.centos.org
will then decapsulate the TCP segment from the IP datagram, and TCP
will decapsulate the HTTP message and hand it to the HTTP server.

The HTTP response will flow back to you via a similar mechanism.

Those different lines you see in the output of traceroute are the
"next hops" along the way from your system to www.centos.org.

Now, the data links at all those next hops may have different limits
for how large a packet they can transmit.  If an IP datagram arrives
at a "next hop" (aka an IP router), and IP there determines that where
it needs to be sent-out next is over a data link with a packet size
smaller than the IP datagram it needs to send, IP decides to send back
to the traffic's source an ICMP message saying "Hey, the datagram you
sent is too large for me to send, you should send smaller IP
datagrams" (There is more to it than this, but I'm simplifying).

There are other sorts of ICMP "Hey!" messages.  One of them is
"Maximum Hop Count Reached" - that is the ICMP message that (default)
traceroute relies upon receiving.  In the header of an IP datagram
there is a field called the "TTL" (Time To Live) which is really a
maximum hop count.  As the IP datagram passes through an IP router,
the router decrements the count by one, and when it hits zero, that IP
is supposed to send back an ICMP message that says "Hey! The datagram
you sent had its maximum hop count expire before it reached its
destination."  Traceroute works by sending an IP datagram over and
over again, with the TTL increased by one each time.

Ping sends a different sort of ICMP message, one that says "Please
tell me that you got this" - more formally known as an ICMP Echo
Request.  The destination IP will send an ICMP Echo Response back to
the originator when it receives one.

Now, all these things I've described rely on ICMP messages making it
back to the source of the IP/ICMP datagram triggering them.  But some
network administrators feel that allowing (certain) ICMP traffic to
pass represents a security vulnerablity, so they block ICMP traffic.

If ICMP traffic is blocked at a point part-way between you and
www.centos.org, you will see the traceroute "stop" (those '*' lines
starting indicating there was no response with the TTL set to that
many hops).  You will also not have ping "work" - it won't see any
ICMP Echo Reply messages.

If TCP tries to send a TCP segment that was carried in an IP datagram
which needed to be fragmented somewhere in the middle there, then when
it goes to send traffic it will appear to disappear - it hits an IP
router (next hop) that tried to send it but couldn't and the "Hey!"
message that IP router tried to send back was blocked.

Now, by default, ping and traceroute do not send very large IP
datagrams, so the chances of those packets arriving at a next hop
where fragmentation is needed is pretty small.

Also, not all TCP segments are the same size - the TCP segments used
to setup a TCP connection for example are pretty small.  That is what
was behind some of the "try telnet www.centos.org 80" suggestions -
that is an old school way to just try establishing a TCP connection
but not actually send any data on it.  Those TCP segments will be
small.

Why try that?  (Or for that matter the pings or traceroutes with
options set to send larger packets) Because it is how one tries to see
if 'the problem" centers on packets which are too large arriving at a
small data link somewhere, or simply a routing issue somewhere in the
middle of the Internet.  If the "telnet www.centos.org 80" establishes
the TCP connection, you can assume that it isn't a routing issue.  In
that case, a/the remedy is to ensure that TCP at your system and TCP
at the system(s) to which you are connecting never try to send TCP
segments which become IP datagrams which are too large to send without
fragmentation.  One can do that by shrinking the MTU of the network
interface of your system.  When TCP establishes a connection, part of
that is exchanging with the other side (eg www.centos.org) the Maximum
Segment Size (MSS) for the connection.  There are several inputs to
that exchange, one of which is the MTU of your local interface.  The
smallest MSS (your's or that of www.centos.org) is the one that will
be used for traffic in both directions.

Now, if the telnet www.centos.org 80 does not succeed, that means
there is some sort of routing issue.  That was already partially
suggested by the ping and traceroute "failures" you've already
reported (if memory serves) but since the ICMP traffic on which they
rely can be blocked, their failure is not conclusive.

What sort of routing issue might it be?  Well, one could be that there
is a simply problem at or after one of those next hops you see in the
traceroute output.  That is why some have suggested you lookup the
information about who runs those and contact them.

It is possible that your source IP has been "black listed" for some
reason or other - either at/past the ISP responsible for the last
"next hop" you see in traceroute or perhaps even at www.centos.org.
Perhaps at one point the IP address you have from your ISP was
involved in something considered nefarious or anti-social.

That you could still get to www.centos.org using TOR would remain
consistent with your IP address (the one being assigned to your home
gateway by your ISP) being blacklisted because the entire point of TOR
(as I understand it) is to hid your actual IP address.  It does that
by adding some additional layers to the top of what I mentioned
above. (As I understand it, I don't actually have any practical
experience with TOR).

Well, no. He tried
telnet centos.org 80
which generates no HTTP message. Just a bare connection request. 
It fails.

He sent really small packets. 
ping is I believe 80 bytes.
And they are not rejecting ping packets (I just checked.)

So, why does the route up to the last hop work, but not that last hop?
And why does it work for everyone else. It is really really hard to see
it as a routing issue.

Yes, I does look like a firewall issue, but he claims that centos claims

Everything you said is right on the money.
It's frustratingly hard to figure out.

The only two ideas "I" can come up with are:
1. Someone is blocking me (but I can't imagine why)
2. The path is too long for something (but I don't know what).

In the first case, I'm not sure if the blocker would be the 
15th hop (which returns packets) not forwarding them on to 
the Centos server or if it's the 16th hop (the Centos server)
not responding back. Is there a way to tell?

In the second case, it would be useful to test a similarly 
long (at least 16 hops) path. Or, maybe there's a way to slow
down my pings so that I can reproduce the problem in fewer hops?

They may not be blocking "you" specifically, but the IP address you
have from your ISP.

Only by asking the 15th hop and getting a response.  Basically, as
frustrating as it is, in this matter you will be dependent on the
kindness of strangers at the ISP(s) at/beyond that 15th hop.

Hop count to reach a given server depends on topology of the Internet
not the rate at which you are issuing either pings or traceroute
packets.  To make a possibly lame analogy, driving from NY to LA you
will go trough the same intermediate cities along the highway no
matter how fast you drive.

Understood. 

The last time this happened, last March, I searched 
all the blacklist servers I could find, an my IP
address was NOT in any of them.

I've been following the thread.  Given the traceroute output, my
understanding is that your isp is giving your system an RFC1918
address, within 10.*.*.*, which means the website will be seeing
all connections from all customers of your isp as coming from the
same ip address.  It could well be that their automated software is
blocking any ip address that is trying to make too many
connections, in a given time frame, and keeping the address in the
block list, for a specified amount of time.  This may not be obvious
to an admin of centos.org, without digging through the logs.

I think I understand what you're saying, because, in effect, it's
what our home broadband routers do. Right?

For example, the home broadband router has an IP address where
all the computers behind it look, to the outside, as the IP 
address of the router.

Are you saying that the exit node of the WISP, which is 10.0.0.1
in the traceroute below, is what they're blocking?

No. It had better not be 10.0.0.1 since that would not route in the
outside world at all. It would not even get to the first hop, never mind
15 since nothing would know where to send the packet (there are millions
of systems with that address in the world). The exit node or something
further up the chain had better have a routable address.

So all of the above are non-routable addresses. (ie, they cannot be
routed on the public internet, but can be on a private net).
That 10.0.0.1 is the address of that router as seen from inside, rather
than the address it presents the world.
It is really strange to get a public address and then get a bunch of
private addresses.

IMHO not really. It is a ISPs way to save let's say commonly routable
public IP addresses. I've seen this many times.

That's another good theory. Each time a packet goes through a router, its
"TTL" (Time To Live) is decremented. When it reaches zero the packet is
discarded. The reasoning behind this is that it handles looping routes
safely. The downside is that if the target is further away from you than
the initial TTL you can't reach it.

You can check your default TTL with this command:

    cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl

On my system it returns 64. You can change the value (as root, of course)
by using echo to write a different value to it:

    sudo -s    # become root
    echo 128 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl

But surely his chain does not take 64 sec to reach the far end (assuming
I am reading that correctly). That would be absurd. But I guess changing
that default does not harm much. On the other hand, somewhere down the
route that ttl could be changed by one of the other links in the chain.

It's not a DNS TTL, it's a hop count. 64 hops is the maximum distance
packets from my system can reach.

Each hop decrements the value by one until it hits zero.

This is a great detective idea!

On Knoppix, my TTL is set, by default, to 64 also:
  $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl
  ==> 64
If I understand it correctly, that's 64 routers, right?
I only seem to be going through 1/4 that many routers,
yet, mine fails to complete the route.

Still, it seems useful to increase the number & try again.
I can't modify the Knoppix TTL since it's on a DVD so I 
will try it with another operating system and report back.

Sure you can. Just as he says. Everything in /proc is a fake filesystem,
it is NOT on the hard disk or dvd or anything. It is a look into the
kernel which is of course in memory. Just do as he says.
