Traveling Through a Network

 For this week’s discussion I pinged google.com, pcpartpicker.com and uagc.edu. I got the results right away. Networking is completely new territory for me, so I wasn’t sure what results to expect. As far as packets go looks like 4 packets were sent and received for all three sites with zero being lost. Where they differ was each of the sites round trip. Google.com had a minimum 85ms and Maximum 259ms with an average of 163ms. PCPartPicker.com had a minimum 12ms and Maximum 122ms with an average of 88ms. Uagc.edu had a minimum 82ms and Maximum 304ms with an average of 155ms. Ping screenshot below: 

Traceroute Command on all three of the websites all came back with different timing. The results came up quickly for google.com and pcpartpicker.com. However, uagc.edu took quite a while to come up and there were so many timed out requests practically throughout the entire traceroute command. Having uagc.edu open almost all day on my browser could have caused the result as uagc.edu is one of the many tabs I have open at all times even when I’m not necessarily working in it.
