Internet tools

I used the network tools site and opened up the trace-route tool from my laptop to curtin.edu.au it hopped 14 times across the network with an average time taken of 239/14 = 17.07 m secs per hop before it reached curtain with an IP address of 124.7.179..56

I explored this further by using the ping utility to ping the blackboard with it's address: 134.7.180.137
The average time taken over 10 pings was 245.3 m secs.
I have a set of client networking tools on my computer and i used them to ping the curtin blackboard. In this case the average time taken was less 228ms than what it was when I used the on line network tools.

This task falls within the context of the concept: Identity and location. At this stage I can't really grasp this concept and how it is relevant except maybe if i was aspiring to become a hacker. I will leave it for now and hope to come back and expand on it later.
