Is[3] it possible to address a datagram to a router's (IP gateway's) IP address?
Does it make sense to do so?
The following are the output of two runs of the traceroute command, one
looking from Bendigo towards the rest of the lnternet via La Trobe, Bundoora,
and the other from outside La Trobe looking towards Bendigo. Traceroute is
used to discover the route a datagram would take in the Internet. This will be
further explained in the tutorial.

- Can you see where the large delays occur in datagram delivery?
- Can you use this information to draw a diagram of the topology of the
Internet in our region?
