A trace tells you how many hops it takes from your machine towards the datacenter, using the right programming you can find out which of the hops is the cause of any delay or packet loss between your computer and the datacenter.

This is a trace I did a while ago when I was still on Excalibur:

The ping reports 0 data packets lost. Is this the same thing?
