Ping

This assignment will give you practice with ping. More important, it gives you a concrete example of the way packets are routed on the Internet and how fast it is.

Run ping to www.ru.ac.za from the same location at two different times of day -- once in the morning and once in the evening.

Post a screenshot of the results on your blog with the label "Asst. 19".

In addition to the screenshot, your post should include answers to the following questions:

1. Where is www.ru.ac.za?

2. Was the average Ping time the same in the morning as the evening? If not, explain the difference.

3. If you could Ping www.ru.ac.za from two different locations at exactly the same time, would you expect the same or different results? Explain your answer.
