Also,

Does someone have traceroute through ANET device, which returns the EO
on TTL exceeded?

If we can find actual production traceroute, we're sure to get
implementations in:

https://github.com/lance0/ttl

At least trippy will already print all unknown EOs too, so you don't
need tshark to confirm.

Thanks, that would be RFC 5837, I did not know about that one.

Looks like Arista has joined Juniper in implementing this [1] and
Linux has it since 6.19.

Awesome, can't. see the actual Arista url, would be interesting in specifics.

In Juniper the problem is
  a) basically one platform (QFX, no MX no PTX)
  b) TTL exceeded doesn't get the EO, making it basically useless

We've opened an ER for this, but it's not a priority for Juniper.


I feel like RFC5837 is such that once we get it, we wonder how we
survive before it. But I seem to be fairly alone here (so wrong I
guess), after many years of asking j-nsp and c-nsp to push their
vendors for it.
