Traveling Through a Network

 One of the functions of the networking utility software known as Ping is to identify whether or not a particular host can be reached. This helps in determining whether or not there are problems with connecting to websites or IP addresses. It is a protocol for the network that delivers data packets to a server, and it creates a connection with the server if the server sends back a data packet. Assessment of the dependability and performance of connections in computer networks is accomplished through the use of ping tests.


    To identify potential issues with internet connectivity, another tool known as Traceroute is utilized. This application works by transferring packets from a computer to an Internet host. In the process of using a website, it is possible to use it to identify pages that are experiencing substantial delays. Traceroute tools send out packets that have a low time-to-live (TTL), which is a measure of the number of hops that a packet will endure before arriving at its initial destination. If a packet is unable to reach its intended destination owing to an insufficient time-to-live (TTL), it is the responsibility of the final host to return the packet and identify itself accordingly.


    The failure of any hops to provide the message "Request timed out" may be an indication of congestion on the network, a loss of connection, or a server's difficulties in tracing the route. It has been demonstrated through the use of Traceroute that the greater the distance between the server and the United States, the longer it takes for the process to be completed, and the more frequently it fails to finish. Within the network, the first hop is typically unsuccessful, which is an indication that the route is not performing the function that it was designed to do.

Scratch Experience

Scratch In the beginning of my experience with Scratch, which is a programming language, I encountered a great deal of difficulty with it. I was not familiar with the program because I had not used it since I was in middle school. This was the reason why I was uncertain about it. The reason I did not feel comfortable with it was because of this matter. Having said that, I discovered that the usage of Scratch made it simpler for students to personalize and construct their own narratives from scratch. In order to retain the knowledge that was required for utilizing the application, I watched tutorial videos and worked on improving my skills over the course of time. This allowed me to recall the information. One of the ways that I was able to remember the information was through the use of different strategies.  Based on what I have learned and what I was able to comprehend, the textbook provides a description of how the computer operates when receiving data and working with Scra...

About Me

My name is Abreya, and I was born and raised in the Upstate region of South Carolina. I am employed at a factory that manufactures medical devices as a CNC operator. Since I worked in computer communications while serving in the military, I have received some training in information technology. Since my job requires me to input data and work with coding for the equipment I am operating, I also work with information technology.     My goals for my professional life are to either secure a position with the Department of Homeland Security or work in the field of cybersecurity as a security analyst for a gaming firm. Because of my previous experience in the military and my desire to assist in the protection of the information of people that offer joy to others, such as Insomniac Games or Rockstar Games, I decided to go with these two specific companies.    I am hoping that by the end of this course, I will have a more in-depth understanding of computer systems and o...
