1) traceroute

a. visit the site www.traceroute.org and perform traceroutes from two different cities in France to the same destination host in the United States. How many links are same in the two traceroute? Is the transatlantic link the same?
b. Repeat (a) but this time choose one city in France and another city in Germany.
c. Pick a city in the United States, and perform traceroutes to two hosts, each in a different city in China. How many links are common in the two traceroute? Do the two traceroutes diverge before reaching China?

1. How long does it take a packet of length 1,000 bytes to propagate over a link of distance 5,000 km, propagation speed of 2.5 x 10⁸
   m/s, transmission rate 1 Mbps? Generally, how long does it take a packet of length L to propagate over a link of distance d, propagation speed s, and transmission rate R bps? Does this delay depend on packet length? Does this delay depend on transmission rate?
