Answer 3

Have you tried studying the output of traceroute www.google.com from the command line? This little utility will show you the exact route, hop by hop, that packets take from your local machine to a remote host. You can get some help understanding the output from this site or this other site.

If you're on Windows, the equivalent command line utility is called tracert, and run the same way.

Or, you could use a similar online service: http://who.is/tools/traceroute/google.com/ if you're unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the command line.
