Question

The ping program allows you to send a test packet to a given location and see how long it takes to get there and back. Try using ping to see how long it takes to get from your location to several known locations. From these data, plot the one-way transit time over the Internet as a function of distance (x-axis is the distance; y-axis is the measured one-way transit time). It is best to use universities since the location of their servers is known very accurately. For example, berkeley.edu is in Berkeley, California; mit.edu is in Cambridge, Massachusetts; vu.nl is in Amsterdam, The Netherlands; www.usyd.edu.au is in Sydney, Australia.

Answer 1

For the above-given list of websites,

1. Ping has been made to find the time taken to make a ping.
2. Latitude and longitude have been used in order to find the distance.
3. Then in excel, the found data is noted down.
4. Then the graph is made.

Website	Round Trip Time	One way Time	Distance
berkeley.edu	885	442.5	14009
mit.edu	281	140.5	8045
vu.nl	251	125.5	7706
www.usyd.edu.au	286	143	9359

For the above table, the graph has been made between distance and one-way time.

That was a nice question to answer
