A device accepts frames from the Ethernet to which it is attached. It removes the packet inside each frame, adds fra
ming information around it, and transmits it over a xDSL telephone line (its only connection to the outside world) to
an identical device at the other end. This device removes the framing, inserts the packet into a wi
fi frame, and transmits it to a local host over a wi-fi LAN. What would you call the device? ?

ping -c 2 -R 10.203.161.9
PING 10.203.161.9 (10.203.161.9) 56(124) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.203.161.9: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.201 ms
NOP
RR: 10.203.161.7
10.203.161.9
10.203.161.7
64 bytes from 10.203.161.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.133 ms
NOP (same route)
--- 10.203.161.9 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 3999ms
rtt min/avg/max = 0.124/0.147/0.201/0.028 ms
1) Why 56(124) bytes of data?
2) What is use of -c and -R option?
3) What is the limitation of using -R option with ping?
4) What is TTL and RTT? ?

1)56 is default ping packet size.
124 represents total size (56 + 8 + 60)
=>(sizeof ping packet + size of ICMP header + Maximum size of IP header)
IP header takes maximum due to -R option, it need to record route.(20 + 40)
20 for min ip header length, 40(options) means 10 rows, used to record routes.

2)-c is used to specify number of packets to be transmitted,
-R is to record the route information

3)It records at most 10 hops information for route, since ip header have 10 optional row.

4)time to leave, which will be decremented from one hop to another hop, stops forwording the packet
when ttl is 0

be same.

3)used to check packet losses, efficiency of network
