Oops .. i have named this as My Tech Experiments.. .. So some techie news.. 
something which i learnt some time back.. 

TRACE ROOT (tracert) command in windows. 
-----------------------------------------------

Syntax: tracert hostname

It actually returns the way you reach the given host name. When you request for a webpage, the data flows through .. or hops through many servers.. meaning there are many intermediate servers while you are communicating with a server via internet. Lesser the number of hops, more reachable is your server. 


eg: C:\> tracert google.com

Output will look something like this : 

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]

C:\>tracert google.com

Tracing route to google.com [64.233.167.99]

ya and it uses icmp packets with incremented Time to Live(TTL) .This means all routers on the route send back response for each value of TTL..
