# Agent Unable to Trace Path to Destination?

In a strange series of circumstances, you can end up with a Enterprise Agent showing 0% loss, without the path visualization showing connectivity to the destination.

## Problem

There is a disconnect between the loss statistics of the Enterprise Agent (showing 0% loss), and the gateway for the Enterprise Agent (showing 100% loss).

## Cause

This occurs specifically when a Enterprise Agent is connected to the internet behind an Apple Airport gateway, running an up to date firmware revision. This happens due to the fact that Apple Airport routers rewrite the IP header on outbound packets to ensure their routability back to the host which generated them. This disrupts the flow of packets from ThousandEyes, which uses the Identifier field to identify packet sequence.

The example below shows the path visualization of a test which is 100% successful. Note the agent is green, and shows 0% loss, and the endpoint (showing 100% loss) is an Apple Airport device (which is the default gateway for the agent), with 100% loss.

## Resolution

We are working on a workaround for these specific circumstances, but for now, any Enterprise Agent which shows as green, and indicates 0% loss, with a route which terminates on the edge (or gateway) which is an Apple Airport device can be ignored as a troubleshooting point. The fact that we are showing 100% loss at the edge is an indicator of this behavior, rather than an indicator of loss.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/enterprise-agents/troubleshooting/agent-unable-to-trace-path-to-destination.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
