Material Detail

Ping and traceroute

This presentation deals with communication technology. We will use two network utility programs, ping and traceroute, to determine the time it takes to send a packet from one host to another and the number of routers it passes through on the way. We will use programs with a command-line user interface, showing how that differs from a conventional window user interface. We will also see how to query the whois database and review prefixes for small quantities.

Keywords:: router hops, network transit time, command-line user interface, Use ping and traceroute and query the whois database, prefixes for small quantities, whois database
