CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A user runs a traceroute from their local machine to an AWS EC2 instance in a different region to diagnose latency or routing issues.
Key decisions
- Choosing a tiered layout to represent the hierarchical internet path
- Including ISP and cloud gateways to show realistic hops
- Using distinct device types for each hop to aid identification
When to reuse this
Useful for network engineers troubleshooting cross-region connectivity, or for educational purposes explaining how traceroute works.
