Module 1 was really informative. I knew very little about the internet before I started. I have learned so much already in this first module. Many of the concepts addressed were new to me. Everything was explained so clearly and the tasks helped reinforce the information. I got through Module 1 quite quickly. I hope the other modules are longer. I found plenty of terms for my glossary. I will post that separately.
In my previous unit I didn't really get involved in the discussions. This time I got involved straight away, and have been enjoying it. Everyone seems really friendly.
Here are my answers and observations for Module 1
"according to the readme file, '_______ MATTERS' - what word goes in the blank?".

How many ‘hops’ are there?
18
What is the average time in milliseconds from the tools site to the curtin server?
234
- Record your answer in your learning log
Looking at these results, find out the IP NUMBER of the hostname curtin.edu.au
134.7.134.47
Ping the webct site and compare the time with the time taken to ping from the net tools site. Is it less or more than you expected?
Why?
- Record your observation in your learning log
1048596 ms
I did not expect it to take this long. 1048596 ms seems like a very long time.
Traceroute from your computer to curtin.edu.au: compare the number of hops with the earlier traceroute.
What sort of differences can you observe?
- Record your observation in your learning log
20 hops. Much faster average time. All happened very quickly. More hops.
I'm very new to this blogging thing. I have to create a blog for uni. I am studying NET11, The Internet - Communications. I am looking forward to getting in to this unit. I have a basic knowledge of the internet and would like to change that. I'm wishing I had added an Internet Design unit as well, but I can do it next time.
I will be keeping a learning log here as required for school. Answers and observations from the tasks will be up here, as well as personal reflections on the unit.
Thanks to Anthony for recommending this site. It is very easy to use.
