Caravan Analogy Traceroute
Perform a traceroute to www.google.com at three different hours of the day. Traceroute is a tool that measures round-trip delays to every intermediate router toward the final destination. The measurement to each router and the final destination contains three round-trip delays. (Command: traceroute in Linux/Mac; tracert in DOS)
-
(5 pt.) Obtain screenshots for every traceroute and attach them with the submitted document. Print the current date and time before running traceroute. To print date and time, use: “date” in Linux and Mac, “echo %DATE% %TIME%” in DOS.
-
(5 pt.) Find the average and standard deviation of the end-to-end round-trip delays at each of the three hours. The “end-to-end” round-trip delay stands for the round-trip time between the source (your machine) and the destination (the server). Fill out the following table. Show the calculation.
