In Windows OS, the ping command provides statistica information about packet loss to a certain destination while the tracert command gives information about each hop involved along the way of the packet. What command combines both functions into one?

In Windows OS, the ping command provides statistica information about packet loss to a certain destination while the tracert command gives information about each hop involved along the way of the packet. What command combines both functions into one?

• pathping
• treaceroute
• netstat
• ping -r

EXPLANATION

pathping computes statistics for every hop along the way of the ICMP packet
(for 75 seconds by default) and it is very useful to determine where exactly a packet loss occurs.

You've been asked to move from IPv4 to IPv6. What is a valid reason for adopting IPv6 over IPv4?

You've been asked to move from IPv4 to IPv6. What is a valid reason for adopting IPv6 over IPv4?

• Change of destination address in the IPv6 header
• Telnet access does not require a password
• Change of source address in the IPv6 header
• No broadcast 

EXPLANATION

With IPv6, devices can build a link-local address automatically.
But notice this address is only used for communications within the local subnetwork, routers do not forward these addresses.

Linux and Unix systems typically track 3 timestamps in file inodes: atime, ctime, and mtime. The "a" in atime means access. The "m" in mtime means modify. What does the "c" in ctime mean?

Linux and Unix systems typically track 3 timestamps in file inodes: atime, ctime, and mtime. The "a" in atime means access. The "m" in mtime means modify. What does the "c" in ctime mean?

• copy-on-write
• create
• change
• cache 

 

EXPLANATION

"c" in ctime means change.  Specifically, a change to the inode's status, eg, permissions, ownership, link count, file size, etc.
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inode.7.html
"Last status change timestamp (ctime) stat.st_ctime; statx.stx_ctime"

http://www.linux-mag.com/id/8658/
"Timestamps telling when the inode itself was last change (ctime, changing time), the file content was last modified (mtime or modification time), and when the file was last accessed (atime or access time)"
