Explain network protocols including Transport Control Protocol / Internet Protocol.

Question Two

Given the following IP address 130.45.151.154, determine the following:

  1. Class of the IP
  2. Network ID
  3. Host ID
  4. The number of hosts

Describe a deep and systematic understanding of Computer networking principles, models, and technologies.

Question Three

 

Suppose there is a network with four switches connected in a cyclic fashion where each switch has port interfaces of different bandwidths and hence have different port cost. The following table provides information about the bandwidth and the cost of each link. Find a Spanning Tree Path Cost Value for switch 4 where switch 1 is considered as the root switch.

Bandwidth Cost
10 Mbit 100
100 Mbit 19
1000 Mbit 4

Describe a deep and systematic understanding of Computer networking principles, models and technologies.

Question Four

Why the CSMA CD algorithm does not work in wireless LANs? mention at least two reas
