    iii. ping -i 6 www.facebook.com, did you receive the correct reply? If not, explain
    why.

    TTL Expired in Transit tells the Time to live value set for the ping packets reduced to
    zero while traveling through the network before reaching the destination. When TTL
    expires the packet will not travel to the next hop.

    iv. nslookup www.live.com, did you result show ‘Non-authoritative answer’? If yes,
    explain what does it indicate, you are advised to browse the internet to attain
    this answer.

    Non-authoritative name servers do not contain original source files of domain’s


    zone. They have a cache file for the domains that is constructed from all the DNS
    lookups done previously. If a DNS server responded for a DNS query which doesn’t
    have original file is known as a Non-authoritative answer while an authoritative
    name server is a name server that has the original source files of a domain zone
    files. Where the domain administrator has configured the DNS records for a domain.

    Task 02. Differentiate between Ping and PathPing commands.

    Ping shows the time it takes to get from you to the destination.

    When you run pathping, it does a traceroute, then pings each of the devices in the route, and
    reports the results of ping.
