All,

I've just sent out grades for HW3.  If you have not
received a grade, please let me know asap.

It seemed like nobody had any major problems with the
assignment, but I did not always see the kind of
analysis I had hoped for in the visual traceroute
part.

That is, tracing to the given IPs itself was not the
bulk of the work; rather, I was looking for you to
analyse the information collected in this manner and
make a few observations about the paths taken.

For example, you may have observed rather inefficient
routes jumping across an ocean back and forth, or you
might see "impossible" jumps, such as packets going
from Colorado directly to Hawaii.  Try to hypothesize
why that is, then verify or falsify your hopthesis.
(This is Computer _Science_, after all.)

Revisit lecture 05, part II for some additional
context.

-Jan
