What is the device in the middle?

1

I did a traceroute on an IP address and got these results. I am only showing hop 9, 10 and 11, where it crosses over from my provider to their provider:

9    13 ms    13 ms    16 ms  host213-121-193-95.ukcore.bt.net [213.121.193.95]
10    24 ms    13 ms    12 ms  194.74.65.22
11    18 ms    23 ms    18 ms  brhm-bb-1c-ae5-0.network.virginmedia.net [212.250.15.209]

What is the device in between?

I guess that means it is one of BT's devices. – John Pringle – 2013-08-10T00:54:54.527
