thanks for the comments. Tracert is now on a 2 year international tour oraganised by ACM Siggraph. i am not sure of the schedule as it wasnt arranged during this years conference. if you are interested in seeing the work it may be an idea to check the Siggraph web page from time to time to check for up to date destinations.
