Solution

Sure, here are the matches for the network terms to their definitions:

  1. Subnet: A logical subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting.

  2. Traceroute: A network diagnostic tool used to track the pathway taken by a packet on an IP network from source to destination. Traceroute also records the time taken for each hop the packet makes during its route to its destination.

  3. Packet: A small amount of data sent over a network, such as a LAN or the Internet. Similar to a real-life package, each packet includes a source and destination as well as the content (or data) being transferred.

  4. Payload: The part of transmitted data that is the actual intended message. The payload excludes the "overhead" information such as headers or metadata sent to route the data.

  5. Hop: Refers to the process of passing information from one network node to the next. In the context of a traceroute, a hop represents one portion of the path between source and destination.
