Module 1: Task 3: Traceroute

I attempted to use Samspade.org to do a traceroute from WebCT to Samspade. It didn't work. I then remembered a post on WebCt by Brent who had had a similiar problem. Cynthia's reply made it clear that the Samspade.org traceroute task was a trick, in that it was known not to work. Note to self: beware of trickery in this unit. I then tracerouted from Webct to www.Telstra.net via a different website (found by typing traceroute into Google): http://www.completewhois.com/traceroute.htm.

The Ip Address of WebCT was:

134.7.34.197

There were 18 'Hops' between the two sites.

The average hop time appears to be around 50 ms.
The entire time taken would be around 900 ms.
