Hello, everyone!
Regarding the ping test between the sites, I went with the approach suggested on the assignment and chose the sites across the globe, varying in the EU and Asia. Although fast, I noticed that the farther I tested, the longer the average time increased. For the tracer test, I was expecting the same result; however, the Under Armour EU came up with shorter hops than Google. Also, the standard locations for all the tracers were mainly between California and New York. I checked each IP individually.
Ping and Traceroute can help with internet troubleshooting in various ways. Ping can test connectivity issues by seeing which servers are up and responding, helping you gauge the connection's latency and find potential problems in the network path. By running a traceroute, you can check all routers the date passes through, allowing you to spot any congestion within a specific router and changes in the routers that can cause further issues.
There are many reasons why a ping request or traceroute command might time out or return with an error response. Network congestions can cause delays; firewalls may block incoming packets, causing commands to fail. The destination host may be down or unreachable, and even if the host is reachable, intermittent packet loss can lead to timeouts or incomplete responses.
