Problem conclusion
See the following message in the udp packet for the TraceRoute ping: - [Expert Info (Error/Malformed): Bad length value 2048 > IP payload length] It is a big endian/little endian bug issue and is platform specific. We provide the correct packet length 8 bytes. However the hex 8 bytes is reversed the order from 00 08 to 08 00. It is a big endian/little endian bug issue and is platform specific. Use htons(8) while adding the total length to the packet.
