Dear sysdate,
I belive our methd is also going to be running on top of the IP layer. It will use IP type system calls to access entries in th Routing table to decide what interface(s) to take to further "travel" on the network to reach the dstination host. It might not use the exact same mechanisms that tracerout, ping, or DNS queries use, but something similar.

Can you think of a reason why such approach won't work?
