Lab 1 Questions 2-3

2.       A) Tracert on www.york.cuny.edu

Explanation: The first hop was my home IP address. Then it went to a network which is located a mile or 2 away from my house which is why it took 8 more milliseconds to read. The location of the 2^nd hop’s IP address was over by Springfield Gardens, Queens. It went to this location because it was the nearest public Verizon Network, to the previous hop. The 3^rd – 9^th hop was quite some distance, it went all the way to Wichita, Kansas, now transferred its connection to Dial Up, rather than having a standard Broadband connection which is slowing down. The 10^th hop was located in Boston, MS. The 11^th – 13^th hop was located in Newburgh, NY. The last hop was located in Manhattan, NYC. The reason it timed out, was because it attempted to trace all possible routes to the york.cuny.edu network, but it was unable to find it, so it went further and further out into the country and returned close to the original IP, and cancelled the search (Request timed out). This protocol is given when a network blocks there ICMP for security reasons, so the only way I can trace a route to this network is if I’m within the network area itself (on campus).  

B) Tracert to www.cunyportal.cuny.edu

Explanation:  The first hop starts off with my IP address. Then it goes to a location which is located in Springfield Gardens, NY. On the 3^rd - 5^th hop, it went to Wichita, Kansas. The 6^th hop was located all the way in Sydney, Australia. The last hop was in California, where it met its destination.
