Hello Everyone,
When I took a ping of google.com I got 4 packets sent. Packets I received 4. Packets lost zero. The range of response speeds was minium: 32ms maximum 40ms the average was 34ms.
So I pinged a Japanese site this one https://www.atelier-aqua.jp/
I got 4 packets sent. Packets I received 4. Packets lost zero. The range of response speeds was minium: 112ms maximum 115ms the average was 113ms.
I pinged a Germain site https://www.bild.de/
I got 4 packets sent. Packets I received 0. Packets lost 4. I had a 100% loss.
google.com traceroute went through 15 routers and has over a maximum of 30 hops. It didn't fail before it reached its destination.
https://www.atelier-aqua.jp/ when I traceroute this site I that it went through 16 routers but the numbers 10, 11,14,15 the request timed out but all the other ones were there. The last one still reached its destination. It had over a maximum of 30 hops.
When I traceroute https://www.bild.de/
this site had 9 routers and over a maximum of 30 hops. It didn't fail before it reached its destination.
As I talk about my experience with pinging and traceroute I see now how long it takes to ping amounts of data from a site and sites from a different country are hard to ping without request timing out unless they have a lot more routers. Just like the japan site 4 of the routers timed out but because they have more it didn't fail that much because it still has a lot that works. But the reason why the ping failed 100% of the time on the german site is that they only have nine routers and japan had 12 that worked. I think because japan has a lot of people they made more routers so it's easier to get to me. But both had problems more than google because the google that I traced is closer to me. But if I tried germans google or japan google it might not work.
The ping and traceroute commands can be used to troubleshoot internet connection problems because they show if someone else's router is messed up and it's not working because of them, not you. But they can do it for their site and see where the problem is coming from. Also, it shows how long it takes to get from router to router and if the IP addresses are working correctly to pass to your computer. A ping might turn back with a timed-out message because it cant reach or find the IP address that's connected to the site. Or your computer could have connection problems to the internet. Traceroute can come back with an error message because it can't find some or all of the routers to continue to their destination. Another problem can be that the router was taking down and it's still trying to connect to that one.
