The Traceroute task

"What to do;
For ease of use, and because free versions of internet tools are constantly changing this task only requires you to visit a site. (If however you would like to explore further, follow the instructions below).
First visit this site explaining traceroute
Next find a site that provides the common internet tools (traceroute, ping) some examples include http://centralops.net/co/ or http://network- tools.com/
Using the traceroute tool, answer the following questions:
Traceroute from the chosen site to curtin.edu.au - cut and paste the entire list of 'hops' from there to Curtin.
How many ‘hops’ are there?
what is the average time in milliseconds from the tools site to the curtin server?"(Allen, M n.d)
This task required me to do a Traceroute from the selected site to curtin.edu.au
I first tried the site http://centralops.net/
I entered the required info, and the results returned.
The answers for this example are 18 hops and the ip address is 134.7.179.56
267ms was the average time
The next site on my list was http://network-tools.com/ where I returned similar results
17 hops this time, and the ip address is ofcourser 134.7.179.56
259ms was the average time
I also used with windows comand prompt, it was slightly different to the previous 2 examples.
14 hops with the ip address 134.7.179.56
71ms was the average time
For this tool I needed to go via START>ALL PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES and then right click on the COMMAND PROMPT and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
I then typed tracert curtin.edu.au, clicked enter
Obviously it was much quicker from the NSW/VIC border to curtin than from USA
I started the internet tools taks by visting the link provided with blackboard http://computer.howstuffworks.com/router5.htmThe how stuff works people really speak my language, I enjoy and more, importantly understand their articles. So after finishing reading I googled 'traceróute', the top result was from http://www.traceroute.org/ where I selected the country Australia. This took me to a list of sites to use, I selected the top one, Telstra (http://www.telstra.net/cgi-bin/trace)I entered curtin.edu.au into the destination box. My results were:traceroute to curtin.edu.au (134.7.179.56), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 vlan250.lon-service6.Melbourne.telstra.net (203.50.2.177) 0.33 ms 0.337 ms 0.256 ms 2 TenGigabitEthernet0-12-0-2.exi-core1.Melbourne.telstra.net (203.50.80.1) 0.503 ms 0.4 ms 0.384 ms 3 POS0-0-0-0.way-core4.Adelaide.telstra.net (203.50.6.190) 14.983 ms 14.87 ms 14.768 ms 4 POS0-0-0-0.pie-core1.Perth.telstra.net (203.50.6.214) 45.977 ms 45.666 ms 45.727 ms 5 TenGigabitEthernet9-2.wel19.Perth.telstra.net (203.50.115.29) 45.509 ms 45.562 ms 45.591 ms 6 optus6.lnk.telstra.net (139.130.159.18) 44.231 ms 44.15 ms 44.132 ms 7 * * * 8 61.88.226.115 (61.88.226.115) 44.703 ms 44.757 ms 44.715 ms 9 AARNET.o6ssc76fe.optus.net.au (61.88.166.134) 44.523 ms 44.8 ms 44.56 ms10 ge-1-0-3.bb1.a.per.aarnet.net.au (202.158.198.1) 44.81 ms 44.821 ms 44.716 ms11 gigabitethernet0.er1.curtin.cpe.aarnet.net.au (202.158.198.178) 46.573 ms 46.438 ms 46.763 ms12 gw1.er1.curtin.cpe.aarnet.net.au (202.158.198.186) 45.401 ms 44.988 ms 44.861 ms13 vl7.b309-bs-1.net.curtin.edu.au (134.7.16.169) 48.186 ms 47.629 ms 47.499 ms14 te2-4-b309-cr.net.curtin.edu.au (134.7.16.46) 46.548 ms 46.32 ms 45.595 ms15 te1-1.b309-sr.net.curtin.edu.au (134.7.248.65) 46.273 ms 46.629 ms 46.033 ms16 * * *17 * * *18 * * *19 * * *20 * * *21 In total, there were 30 hops max.The average time in milliseconds from http://www.traceroute.org/ to curtin.edu.au was The ip address for the hostname curtin.edu.au is 134.7.179.56I also found http://member.dnsstuff.com/pages/help/traceroute.php really useful in interpretting the results.
