8. Explain the purpose of the host command and how it can be used to find the IP address behind a domain name. Mention any additional information that the host command may provide.
7. Why do we use domain names like www.example.com instead of IP addresses, and how does the Domain Name Service (DNS) system facilitate this translation?
4. How does packet loss in the sequence numbers during a ping operation indicate a potential connectivity problem, and what might be the cause of this issue?
3. Can you describe the purpose of the ping tool and how it is used for network debugging? Provide an example of the output from a ping command and explain its key components.
