Lesson Objectives¶
-
Understand how the ping method tests connectivity between network devices and measures packet loss and round-trip time.
-
Learn how DNS queries function to resolve domain names to IP addresses and how this process aids network communication.
-
Understand the purpose and methods of latency tests, which measure the delay in data transmission across a network and identify potential performance issues.
-
Learn how the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) method maps IP addresses to MAC addresses and its role in local network communication.
-
Understand the techniques and tools for local host detection to identify active devices within a local network.
-
Learn about the capabilities and methods of packet sniffer detection to identify and mitigate unauthorized network monitoring.
