In respect of Ping type C described (4 marks):

Produce screenshots showing the relevant Wireshark packet trace of the Ping operation. (2 marks)

Hop count (6 marks):

Determine or calculate which IP address the URL resolved to. (1 mark)

How many hops were traversed in reaching the target. (2 marks)

Compare the hop count found in question 3 with the one above. Discuss whether you think the hop-counts are realistic. Explain your answer. (3 marks)

Latency / turn-around delay (5 marks):

Detemine the minimum (1 mark)

Maximum (1 mark), and

Average turn-around time. (1 mark)

Compare the average turn-around trip time found in question 3 with the time immediately above. Discuss whether you think the turn-around trip times are realistic and why you say so. (2 marks)

Apply your theory to the captured data to prove that the resolved IP address is NOT within your devices local IP address range. (5 marks)

Once it is proven that the target IP address is not part of your local LAN IP address range, you will notice that packets are first sent to another specific IP address.

What is the device called where the packets are sent to, right before they go to the internet? (1 mark)

What is this devices address in your case? (1 mark)

How and where did you find this specific address? (1 mark)

Explain how the URL got resolved to an IP address in theory and what the relevant servers that assist with the resolution, are called? (3 marks)

What are the adresses listed at your side, for these specific servers in the above question? (2 marks)

Provide a screenshot of only the relevant part of your Wireshark screen, to support your explanation, showing the URL to IP address resolution. (2 marks)
