Users have different ways of connecting to Microsoft depending on their network type and time of day. A managed network may direct a user to the nearest entry point at MSFT while an unmanaged one could take a completely different route.

There are several reasons for this like network providers who sometimes hide or block certain traceroute data or parts of the network path. TCP Traceroute being blocked or CGNAT at the ISP level are common examples of this. If we detect this, we will indicate that scan results are potentially partial or inaccurate by placing a yellow exclamation mark icon next to the time column in the connectiviy journey scan result list and on the visualization itself. The results will still be listed with all hops we do detect.
