What part of "trace" "route" do you not understand?  If you are  
talking to your own subnet, there are no routers in between, so  
clearly there is nothing to trace.  A packet with TTL 0 is invalid,  
and a packet with TTL 1 will get to the host.

it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't.
