Question 40. The command asked for the route to www.hp.com, yet the last line is from hpcc998.external.hp.com. Which explanation is correct?

a) The computer www.hp.com is not accessible.
b) The traceroute command limits the maximum hops, in this case, the maximum is 30 (first line of output shows this), although only 11 routers are shown, there were 30 between broncho and hpcc998.external.hp.com so the command stopped.
c) The firm hides the network structure, probably for security reasons, so the rest of the network, inside hp, though accessible, is hidden from the user of the traceroute command.
d) The systems hpcc998.external.hp.com and www.hp.com are the same system.

Right or wrong? . You took tries.


Question 41. The first line of traceroute output

1 caulfield-gw.monash.edu.au (130.194.225.254) 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms

a) The computer caulfield-gw.monash.edu.au is on a different sub-network from broncho.
b) The system caulfield-gw.monash.edu.au is the gateway/router for the subnetwork continuing broncho.
c) The system caulfield-gw.monash.edu.au is the interface for www.hp.com.
