Introduction to findings

To know the patterns and aberrances in the internet connection with specific examples, I have captured metrics from few of the speed test websites. The following metrics are captured to identify whether network speeds are consistent.
Ping: The ping is the reaction time of user connection–how fast users get a response after they sent out a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection, especially in applications where timing is everything (like video games). Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms).
Download speed: The time taken to pull the data from the server to the user. Most connections are designed to download much faster than they upload, since the majority of online activity, like loading web pages or streaming videos, consists of downloads. Download speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Upload speed: The time at which the data packets were sent from user to server. Uploading is necessary for sending big files via email, or in using video-chat to talk to someone else online (since you have to send your video feed to them). Upload speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Jitter: jitter is the variation in latency as measured in the variability over time of the packet latency across a network. A network with constant latency has no variation.
Packet loss: Packet loss is the failure of one or more transmitted packets to arrive at their destination. This event can cause noticeable effects in all types of digital communication.

Analysis:
Based on test which I have performed, I concluded that there is an error in packet loss of my connection. The packet loss shown is error in all the tests I performed over 4 weeks.
The ping values changed a lot on several days while performing the tests. The difference in ping speeds depends on how busy the Internet servers are where ping travels. If ISP servers get relays from Internet servers that

    Message timing involves several rules of engagement. Access Method determines when two hosts can know when to begin sending messages and how to respond when errors occur. Flow control is used to manage how much data and the speed at which the data is transferred, allowing source and destination hosts to negotiate correct timing for successful communication. Hosts on the network also have defined Response Timeout rules specifying how long to wait for responses and what action to take if a response timeout occurs.…

Most of the graphically intense displays you see on the screen are actually on your local machine. It’s not explosions being sent over the physical wire itself.

    According to S. Branch (2012), in his article What is a Ping Sweep he says “A ping sweep, also called an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) sweep, is a diagnostic technique used in computing to see what range of (IP) addresses are in use by live host, which are usually computers”. Ping sweeps are not unusual, they are often used by administrators in diagnosing network issues; however, hackers also use ping sweeps to find active computers so they will know where to concentrate their attacks. This can become a serious security breach for an unprepared network. Hackers send not one ping but many packets at the same time. This tends to slow down a network. When the hackers ping sweep finds an active computer it can send request for confidential information.…

    Dial up access connects to the internet when the computer the computer dials a phone number which is the IPS address using the modem. Dial up is an analog connection because data is sent over an analog, public telephone network. The modem converts received analog data to digital and visa versa. Because dial-up access uses normal telephone line the quality and the connection is not always good. Typical speed is 56kbps which is kilo bits of data per second.…

    I used Visual Route 2010 to perform a trace route on my ISP Cox.Net (68.1.17.9). I also used Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] and typed tracert 68.1.17.9 at the command prompt. The programs sent UDP messages. There were no errors, so ICMP did not report any. Visual Route trace started on Jan 15, 2011 8:38:11 PM. The host 'cox.net ' (known as www.cox.net) and is reachable in 11 hops. In addition, it responded to HTTP requests on port 80 (it is running server Apache, which responded in 113ms). The TTL value of packets received from it is 243.In general this route offers a good throughput, with hops responding on average within 20ms. The DNS lookup was completed almost instantaneously (less than 2ms - this may be the result of…

    In the event that a packet becomes lost due to network congestion, traffic load balancing, or other unpredictable network behavior, TCP detects these problems, requests retransmission of lost data, rearranges out-of-order data, and even helps minimize network congestion to reduce the occurrence of the other problems. Once the TCP receiver has reassembled the sequence of octets originally transmitted, it passes them to the application program.…
