OBJECTIVE:To understand network latency and to identify between standalone server and clusters. The assignment helps the student to distinguish between actual server name and alias name

Task:

1. Identify the domain name for National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA )

2. Write a command that show your IP address

3. Identify the IP address of your DNS server

4. Identify the IP address of your gateway

5. Identify the IP address of your target server that will be dealing with your requests

6. Does the target server have an IPV6 available, state these addresses?

7. State if the server is part of cluster or not? If so list all servers with their addresses

8. Show all the IP addresses of all routers ( hops ) between your PC and the target server

9. Calculate the latency time that would take a small packet to reach the target server

10. What is the actual name of the NASA server?

11. What is the Round Trip Time ( RTT ) between your PC and the server

12. Save all of the outputs in the file 1111111_Network
