Homework 2- Treasure Hunt

I encountered a very interesting web page, whose URL is http://www.flyonthewall.tv/casestudies.php?site=entertainment. I want to know more about this site, so I need your help to hunt it down.

1.    URL trimming is a way of striping URLs. It starts from the right side of the URL, gradually remove parts of URL until you find what you want. For example, our class web page is www.umiacs.umd.edu/~daqingd/Courses/lsbc690/fall03/. If my goal to find who is maintaining the page, and there is no such information in the web page, I can start by firstly removing fall03/, then labsc690/, then Courses/ until I reach www.umiacs.edu/~daqingd/, where I notice that it is Daqing He who is maintaining the page. Now using URL trimming,  please find which organization maintains the page?

2.      Which country owns .tv?

3.   Which organization has that domain name registered?

4.   Use visual traceroute http://visualroute.visualware.com/ to see how the packets get from Dulles VA to there. Then tell me in which city the servers are located. Note you need to type in your email address first before you can use the visual traceroute.
