Subject: RE: BS: How many hops to mudcat? From: CarolC Date: 27 Jul 05 - 12:46 PM How do I get to a command prompt? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: How many hops to mudcat? From: JohnInKansas Date: 27 Jul 05 - 12:53 PM CarolC - Start|Programs|Accessories|Command Prompt on most recent Windows. You can, as an alternative, click Start|Run and type "Command" (without quotes) and hit Enter. You'll get a "DOS Window" in either case. You should type "Exit" and hit enter to close the window when you're done, rather than just clicking the X, especially in older Win versions. John |

Subject: RE: BS: How many hops to mudcat? From: Amos Date: 06 Aug 05 - 01:09 AM Pauline: "Hops" is internet=speak for the number of different computers a message has to go through to get from source to receipt. The mechanism of the internet is such that it can vary with many different paths being taken even by parts of one message. Some programs will list out and count all the waystations for you. Here's a sample: traceroute to mudcat.org (207.103.108.105), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 10.0.1.1 (10.0.1.1) 3.783 ms 0.731 ms 0.575 ms 2 10.71.0.1 (10.71.0.1) 8.322 ms 15.719 ms 10.973 ms 3 ucsdca1-rtr1-ge2-1.san.rr.com (24.25.192.97) 7.431 ms 16.941 ms 8.827 ms 4 wcsdca1-gsr3-srp0.san.rr.com (24.25.196.2) 8.038 ms 8.663 ms 11.157 ms 5 so-2-0-0-0.gar1.sandiego1.level3.net (4.79.36.9) 11.555 ms 7.887 ms 7.418 ms 6 so-7-0-0.mp1.sandiego1.level3.net (4.68.113.93) 7.692 ms 10.035 ms 10.906 ms 7 as-2-0.bbr2.sanjose1.level3.net (4.68.128.157) 22.701 ms as-1-0.bbr1.sanjose1.level3.net (209.247.9.114) 19.718 ms as-2-0.bbr2.sanjose1.level3.net (4.68.128.157) 26.608 ms 8 so-6-0-0.edge2.sanjose1.level3.net (4.68.121.194) 19.388 ms so-7-0-0.edge2.sanjose1.level3.net (4.68.121.198) 24.279 ms so-6-0-0.edge2.sanjose1.level3.net (4.68.121.194) 19.483 ms 9 cogent-level3-oc48.sanjose1.level3.net (4.68.127.202) 21.994 ms 22.997 ms cogent-level3-oc48.sanjose1.level3.net (4.68.127.18) 21.319 ms 10 p5-0.core02.sfo01.atlas.cogentco.com (66.28.4.134) 66.384 ms 172.282 ms 21.348 ms 11 p15-0.core01.den01.atlas.cogentco.com (66.28.4.129) 55.771 ms 50.386 ms 53.723 ms 12 p5-0.core01.mci01.atlas.cogentco.com (66.28.4.30) 55.769 ms 50.507 ms 52.938 ms 13 p1-0.core02.jfk02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.3.201) 86.025 ms 83.051 ms 85.842 ms 14 p13-0.core01.phl01.atlas.cogentco.com (66.28.4.2) 210.263 ms 95.982 ms 210.279 ms 15 g8.ba21.b003003-1.phl01.atlas.cogentco.com (38.112.34.142) 87.103 ms 91.163 ms 85.395 ms 16 voicenetcommunications.demarc.cogentco.com (38.112.5.30) 89.001 ms 91.987 ms 90.625 ms 17 phila-gw-oc12-11-0-0.voicenet.net (209.71.48.52) 89.101 ms 89.312 ms 85.932 ms 18 phila-7200.voicenet.com (207.103.158.78) 90.807 ms 86.273 ms 87.253 ms 19 207-103-102-183.lata228-vz-1.voicenet.com (207.103.102.183) 94.628 ms 99.924 ms 96.209 ms 20 207.103.108.105 (207.103.108.105) 98.183 ms 98.818 ms 99.921 ms Twenty hops including mudcat for that moment's path.

From: Amos Date: 06 Aug 05 - 01:15 AM Macusers under OS X can use the Network Utility (/Applications/Utilities) and then use the Traceroute tool -- just enter the www address or IP address of interest. Mac users on OS 9 or earlier have to find such a utility of which there are several in the freeware world . A |

Subject: RE: BS: How many hops to mudcat? From: GUEST,Jon Date: 06 Aug 05 - 05:03 AM One thing that is interesting to note is the timings (for 3 samples) shown on Amos' sample. I'd never looked closely at them before but when looking reaslised they can not be the times it takes from one hop to the next - add all the ms times up. They also can't be accumilated times as if you look trough them, you will find the times decrease sometimes. I've just looked up how traceroute works. It sends out ICPM requests (think ping) with a small TTL (time to live). This is sort of like a counter that decreases each hop and a server usualy replies with an error when you've run out of hops. Traceroute relies of these error messages. As far as I can make out that timings shown on tracerout are full timings from your computer to that point on the network. Also you could simulate some of what tracerout does using ping, eg, ping www.mudcat.org -t 1, ping www.mudcat.org -t2, etc. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: How many hops to mudcat? From: Amos Date: 07 Aug 05 - 05:54 AM IF a ping is sent to a target machine, but no auto-response is received back within a certain time, it is said to have "timed out" indicating the target host is not answering. A |
