Computer Networks project assignment

Name and Surname: _______________________________________ Index: ________________

The homework should be solved individually on a computer connected to internet, configured to
automatically obtain its IP address and DNS server. Several applications that use network
communication (such as Skype, Dropbox, and Browser with multiple tabs) should be activated. The
command prompt (Terminal) should be used to interpret the required commands.
Answers should be filled in the template Project assignment 2016 - answers and you should not
rewrite the questions there. Then you should export PDF document Surname_Name_Index.pdf and
compress it to Surname_Name_Index.zip. That archive should be uploaded to the courses assignment
form.
The following commands should be used for the questions in this homework:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

ipconfig (Win) / ifconfig (Linux)

netstat
ping
tracert (Win) / traceroute (Linux)
ARP
route

20. a) Answer:
127.0.0.1 is a loopback address which is used to allow professionals to test IP software without worrying
about broken or corrupted devices or hardware. 224.0.0.0 is a multicast address used as the destination
of the datagram, never the source.

20. b) Answer: It means that on that address there is a direct connection and we dont have
to use a gateway.
