so i am following a convo that a pc on my lan is having with another pc on the internet. the pc on my lan is playing a game. i am eavesdropping on it through a network tap and my monitoring pc is running wireshark.
My home pc is connecting to an external ip of 216.133.234.156
When i try to traceroute I get this
216.133.234.156 is from United States(US) in region North America

My home pc is happily playing league of legends and running skype at the same time.
but when i do a 'whois' on that ip isuccessfully determine that it is a server in Atlanta,Ga registered to RIOT games. This is what I'd expect since riot games is the publisher of league of legends. I am confused though why the traceroute fails. any ideas?
