This week was part a continuation of last week but we also juggled a little bit with WireShark. Again, we set up a class network giving each person a part of a network. We then passed pieces of data back and forth using the layers that we were in. Certain layers can only read certain pieces of data to pass it from one network node to another.
WireShark is a pretty cool program when used correctly. Reading on the internet, people can get into a lot of trouble when using this program in the wrong way. It was very interesting to see what all happens when sending a request for a webpage and then receiving the request back from the destination. You can see the MAC addresses and also the IP addresses that it has to go through to get from point A to point B.
I posted a link about the possible future of the internet, a shared web.
