4.1 Our Zone
Our fictitious zone serves a college. Movie University studies all
aspects of the film industry and researches novel ways to distribute
films. One of our most promising projects is research into using IP
as a distribution medium. After visiting our
registrar's web site, we have decided on the domain
name movie.edu. A recent grant has enabled us to
connect to the Internet.Movie U. currently has two Ethernets, and we have plans for another
network or two. The Ethernets have network addresses 192.249.249/24
and 192.253.253/24. A portion of our host table contains the
following entries:
127.0.0.1 localhost
# These are our killer machines.
192.249.249.2 robocop.movie.edu robocop
192.249.249.3 terminator.movie.edu terminator bigt
192.249.249.4 diehard.movie.edu diehard dh
# These machines are in horror(ible) shape and will be replaced
# soon.
192.253.253.2 misery.movie.edu misery
192.253.253.3 shining.movie.edu shining
192.253.253.4 carrie.movie.edu carrie
# A wormhole is a fictitious phenomenon that instantly transports
# space travelers over long distances and is not known to be
# stable. The only difference between wormholes and routers is
# that routers don't transport packets as instantly--especially
# ours.
