| 63. | Traceroute reports a possible route that is taken by packets moving from some host A to some other host B. Which of the following options represents the technique used by traceroute to identify these hosts |
| a. | By progressively querying routers about the next router on the path to B using ICMP packets, starting with the first router |
| b. | By requiring each router to append the address to the ICMP packet as it is forwarded to B. The list of all routers en-route to B is returned by B in an ICMP reply packet |
| c. | By ensuring that an ICMP reply packet is returned to A by each router en-route to B, in the ascending order of their hop distance from A |
| d. | By locally computing the shortest path from A to B |
