- Standard deviation (sample): ~0.23 ms
+- Number of routers observed in the path: at least 7 (later hops did not reply due to filtering)
- Note: These RTTs are for the last responding hop (Telus backbone node). The destination and later hops likely rate-limit or drop probes; this is common.

b) Links (via traceroute)
- Answer: In all three traces to www.athabascau.ca, the last responding hop was 7 (Telus backbone). Later hops filtered probes, so the total hop count to the destination could not be observed with ICMP/UDP traceroute.
+- Responding hops seen (from Run 1):
+ 1) 192.168.0.1 (home router)
+ 2) 10.139.230.1 (ISP gateway)
+ 7) 154.11.15.105/154.11.15.107 (Telus backbone)
c) Speed for each identified link
- Answer (best estimate):
- Home Wi-Fi/access uplink: measured average upload ~430 Mb/s (local bottleneck when sending)
- - ISP/regional/backbone: typically >= 1–10 Gb/s
+ - ISP/regional/backbone: typically >= 1-10 Gb/s
- Reason: Per-link bandwidth cannot be inferred from traceroute RTT; we use measured access speeds and typical provider capacities.
