LABORATORY WORK 2 – TRACEROUT

NAME: DINISLAM MIRAS

PURPOSE
The purpose of this exercise is to use the Wireshark packet sniffer to display the contents of messages being sent/
received from/ by protocols at different levels of the protocol stack. You will use a web browser to generate some
network traffic using the HTTP protocol to download content from a website. Your web browser will contact the
host HTTP server and exchange HTTP messages with the server in order to download the requested page. The
Ethernet frames containing these HTTP messages (as well as all other frames passing through your Ethernet
adapter) will be captured by Wireshark.

ACTIVITIES
1. With the command traceroute (tracert in the command window Windows) explore the routes up to 3 servers or
end devices located in different parts of the world (1 of them in Kazakhstan and 2 other countries).

2. Find out and record the location of the intermediate nodes. To do this you need to use database of IP-addresses,
for example:

Ping - 82.200.242.192
Ping – 95.59.172.76
Ping – 195.12.113.2
IP – 151.101.38.133 for www.carwow.co.uk
IP – 52.85.115.54 for www.dazn.com
3. Scroll to the tracing plots, in which the signal is transmitted over a distance of more than 300 km. Specify
between which cities / countries is this site and evaluate its approximate length.

4. For each router (intermediary device), enter the name of the main network provider to whom it belongs.

5. Build flowchart of routes using a map.

Note: don’t use a Traceroute from the Internet browser. Use only your PC.
