Ping “verifies IP-level connectivity to another TCP/IP computer by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo Request messages. The receipt of corresponding Echo Reply messages is displayed, along with round-trip times. ping is the primary TCP/IP command used to troubleshoot connectivity, reachability, and name resolution. Used without parameters, this command displays Help content.” (Microsoft, 2021) Ping can also test the computer’s IP address for the transference of data.
For the international websites, I used Netflix. The availability of Netflix shows/movies is not always global. In order to adjust this is to change the VPN (virtual private network) to the location of which show or movie you would want to watch.
For Netflix in the UK and Japan, four packets were sent, and four were lost. The request has timed out four times on each. The UK and Japan had 30 hops.
Ping will show receptibility between the host and the server. Traceroute will show the route taken. “ In summary, ping is a (very) fast way to tell if a host is reachable over a network, while traceroute can help you diagnose connectivity problems.” (Kaczanowski, 2021)
