Practice the reasoning here

Sketch a small network or packet path. Predict the expected state, introduce one fault, and identify the observation that isolates it.

  1. State the expected result before changing or testing anything.
  2. Name the observation, command, log, or report that would confirm it.
  3. Explain why the closest alternative does not fit the same requirement.
