I must admit i was surprised at the things that were being covered in this first module, I taught myself a lot of this stuff back when i first started using ICQ, in like year 7. any who heres my results for our next task

134.7.179.56 is from Australia(AU) in region Oceana

Trace complete

Average hop time is 137

Number of Hops is 13

So therefore the average time in milliseconds between http://network- tools.com/ and the curtain website is 1781milliseconds

The IP address for the Host systems.curtain.edu.au is 134.7.179.56.

I had no problems with this task, as I have experience in using trace route in MSDOS using the Tracert command. It’s very interesting as you get a good understanding of how intricate the networks are and the means of how you access other servers, how many different routers your packets travel through to reach their destination. A good analogy of this world be say traveling from one side of the world to another. You can’t just travel on one plane. You have stop overs in different countries, these stop overs could be considered as being hops
