Do routers have IP addresses? If so, how many? Ans: Yes routers have ip address and mostly routers have two ip address .The first router interface is wide area network which have public ip address. The second one is local area network and this side contain private ip address. Suppose there are three routers between a source host and a destination host. Ignoring fragmentation, an IP datagram sent from the source host to the destination host will travel over how many interfaces? How many forwarding tables will be indexed to move the datagram from the source to the destination? Ans: Here in this scenario source host forward the ip data gram to link interface one. It reaches at the interface2 and router1 receive it and output datagram to its wlan interface which is interface3.seconf router receive it from nterface4 and forward to interface5 .in the same way third router receive it via interface6 and forward to interface7 and destination host receives it at interface8. So there are 8 interfaces and three forwarding tables will be indexed. Suppose datagrams are limited to 1,500 bytes (including header) between source Host A and destination Host B. Assuming a 20-byte IP header, how many datagrams would be required to send an MP3 consisting of 5 million bytes? Explain how you computed your answer. Ans: MP3 file size = 5 million bytes. Assume the data is carried in ip header is 20bytes for source and 20 bytes for destination .Then each datagram can carry 1500-40=1460 bytes of the MP3 file. Number of datagrams required =total file size/datagram size =((5 * 106) / 1460)=3425 datagrams Consider the following network. With the indicated link costs, use Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra’s shortest-path algorithm to compute the shortest path from x to all network nodes.
