Ping and Traceroute Commands


 Ping Activity

For the Ping activity, I chose to ping Amazon.es and yahoo.es; both websites are from Spain. When I pinged both Amazon.es and yahoo.es, I sent 4 packets and received 4 packets with none lost. Both came back with the same round trip times.

Traceroute Activity

For the traceroute activity I used the same websites. Both websites hopped 15 times. Amazon.es timed out twice while yahoo.es timed out seven times.

Traveling Through a Network Reflection Essay

These tests showed me how data is transmitted and received within a specific time. The information contained in the packet that is sent contains fragments of information which is routed through the network. Each packet contains information about its source and destination and allows it to navigate through different paths to reach its final destination.

These two commands help determine connection problems. Pinging a website or a computer can help the end user by checking the connectivity and speed of the network connection. If there was a high ping, it means there is a potential network issue or a delay in connection. If the ping is low it means that there is a fast and stable connection.

Examples of a ping or traceroute command that may time out or return with an error response is there may be a firewall blocking it or the wrong IP address was entered. Both of these examples could delay a response or return with an error.

Scratch: Make your own program for kids

  My experience with using Scratch was as simplified as possible because this was my first time using it. The tutorials helped me build a story. After watching a few tutorials, I got started on a princess story so that I could build on it in the weeks ahead. Using the drag and drop was a lot harder than it seemed as you must pay attention to the details of positions and timing and if you use the backdrops when to switch them. In any case, the program was fun to use. The difficulties I encountered using Scratch were to position the Sprite, for example, which way was it facing, was it going to be layered behind or in front of the other sprites, or did I need to position it higher or lower to show a face-to-face conversation. The other difficulty was the timing of the conversation. How many seconds was it going to take for each character to say their sentence and when it was time to switch backgrounds and add another sprite how many seconds between them was it going to take. I ove...
