Trace Route

I tried pinging webct.curtin.edu.au (ip 134.7.34.197), from both centralops.net/co and from my computer, using http://www.diamondcs.com.au/portexplorer/       Despite playing with the timeout, it failed everytime.

Pinging  curtin.edu.au (ip 134.7.134.47), however, showed an average time of 85ms from my home computer, and 234ms from centralops.net/co , which I hope is the point of the exercise. Presumably it is quicker because it has less distance to travel, cutting out the US part of the journey.

It takes 17 hops, basically from my computer to my ISP, and across the continent on the universities aarnet system
