Lab 4.6.1 Reflection

This lab I wasn't able to get up to but by reading all the tasks i understood what information i would have gotten out of it. This lab has the same addressing table as the previous labs before. So in terms of ip address, interface, subnet mask, and gateway all the configurations have remained the same. the only thing that did change was the server. There is a new IP address, and default gateway. Just like the previous lab task 1's main focus is on repairing and testing the topology. It tells me that adding a simple PDU would appear in the PDU list window as part of  "scenario 0". By than pressing  the "Fire" button in the PDU list window would send the test ping a second time to the point where it will this time be successful. One thing that i learned from this lab is that by event  filter being set to display DNS, UDP, HTTP, TCP, and IMCP and than opening a web browser from the desktop of computer 1A and finally typing the URL eagle-server.example.com in combination with the use of capture/foward button will show me the interaction between the DNS, UDP, HTTP, and TCP.

Reflection Question: comparing and contrasting DNS, HTTP, UDP, TCP
DNS: Domain Name System which is a naming system for computers, services etc.
HTTP: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol which is a networking protocol for web pages.
UDP: User Datagram Protocol is a transport layer protocol that runs on top of ip networks.
TCP: Transmission Control  Protocol similar like the UDP which is one of the main protocols used for the internet protocol suite(Also a transport layer protocol).
