Exercise with traceroute

Perform a traceroute command (see traceroute slide in the "delays and losses" package) to a destination of your choice (the traceroute command is available on most unix systems; on a Windows machine, use tracert from the DOS shell). In default mode, traceroute will give you three RTT estimates to each hop.
Compute the average delay to each hop. Perform the same set of measurements a day later. Compute the average again.
Have the results significantly changed? For each set of measurements, enter the RTTs retported by traceroute, as well as your computed average.
