Exercise 3 Route Diagram
A route diagram indicates the path taken by packets of data within a network from the source node to the destination node. Route diagram is composed of nodes as well as the IP addresses of those nodes. The route diagram below indicates the path taken by data packet from noc2 host to netman destination host.
1.045 ms 1.012 ms 0.971 ms
3.528 ms 1.671 ms 1.602 ms
2.198 ms 1.404 ms 1.837 ms
The data packets travel from 130.207.8.31 through 199.77.147.1 in at least three hops consisting durations of 1.045 ms, 1.012 ms and 0.971 ms. This presents an average travel time of 1.001 ms for a packet of data to travel between these two nodes. The packet data is then routed to its destination 130.207.251.2 at an average duration of 1.813 ms. It travels in at least three hops. The packet data is then sent back to the original node at an average round trip time of
( 3.528 ms+1.671 ms +1.602 ms)/3= 2.267 ms
The average time a packet takes to travel from noc2 host to netman destination host is 2.267 ms.
Exercise 18 Trouble ticket
There are numerous networking tools that can be employed in troubleshooting most of the networking challenges. These tools are crucial to every network administrator given their significance and role in providing a possible solution to most of the networking troubles exhibited by most users. It is imperative to comprehend the operation of these tools for a network administrator so as to be able to troubleshoot different network conditions. Some of the most common networking tools include Ping (Perkins, 2008). Ping is majorly used to present a fundamental connectivity test between the destination host and the requesting host. Additionally, Tracert can be employed to establish additional information relating to the connectivity between the destination host and the requesting host. Other networking tools that can be exploited to solve various networking troubles include Nslookup, Ipconfig, NetStart, Tera term and Speedtest.net (Tomsho, 2011).
Trouble 100
Trouble 101
Addressing this network trouble require the use of both trace route and telnet networking tools. The possible source of the trouble could be a loss of connection. As a consequence, it is imperative to telnet from the NOC to the user computer. Given that the possible trouble could be due to loss of connection, it is essential to use Trace to determine where the connection is wrecked. Trace route to New York (Tomsho, 2011).
