Choose a website whose servers are on a continent even farther away from you. For example, if you are in the United States, you could trace the route to the University of Delhi in India at the address du.ac.in. What command did you use? How many hops did it take until the route crossed an ocean? What other anomalies do you notice about this global route?

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The command used was traceroute (tracert)

The website used was www.uq.edu.au (University of Queensland, Australia)

The full command was tracert www.uq.edu.au and it was run on cmd in windows.

(Search how to run traceroute on Mac if using iOS, its pretty simple)

It hopped 6 times when it crossed the ocean (from Chennai to Singapore)

After hopping across the ocean, there are many time outs, even when the traceroute has reached the router of www.uq.edu.au. This might be due to security reason that the university has used firewalls to protect from attacks.

Kindly check the attached image below for the output.
