Title: Assignment 7 - Routing and the Internet
Course: KVCC CPT128 > Section: Assignments

In this exercise you are going to use traceroute to find information about a website of your choosing. You can use any tool however I would recommend using a tool that provides additional information such as:

Online Traceroute Tool found at: http://www.ip2location.com/free/traceroute

Once you have selected the site and you have done the route you will want to answer the following questions.

1. First list the table describing the number of hops that is required to reach the particular site. Just know that if you are using a website then the starting point is where their webserver is located.

2. How many total hops did it require to reach the site?

3. What is the total time it took to conduct the trace? Remember these are listed in milliseconds?

4. What was the starting location?

5. What is the ending location?

Once you answer the above questions you want to start to find more details on each of the hops. To do this I recommend you use the following:

IP Tracking Tool found at: http://www.iptrackeronline.com

In this site you will enter the IP address of each of the hops and then answer the following questions:

1. What is the hostname?

2. What is the organization/ISP?

3. What is the postal code for the registration?

4. Look at the map is it pointing to a specific place or building? You can use Google Street view on some locations to obtain additional information.

Once you have gathered all of these details your next step would be to think about the routing that occurs and answer the following questions?

1. What style of routing do you believe is used in this example?

2. Why do you believe this?

3. What is in the information you collected that would lead you to this result?

4. List off any other routing information or points that you would think to be pertinent.
