It is obvious that a router or a switch needs to do searching to find information in the corresponding table. The searching in a routing table for a datagram network is based on the destination address; the searching in a switching table in a virtual circuit network is based on the combination of incoming port and incoming VCI. Explain the reason and define how these tables must be ordered (sorted) based on these values.

The minimum number of columns in a datagram network is two; the minimumnumber of columns in a virtual-circuit network is four. Can you explain thereason? Is the difference related to the type of addresses carried in the packetsof each network?
In what ways has the layer 2 protocol of the router been shown to be flawed? What do you think the repercussions of this revelation will be? Why does an ICMP request that was issued by a PPP-encapsulated router continue to work after the subnet of the serial interface been changed?
Suppose a router has n input ports each with identical line speeds, n output ports each with identical line speeds, and the line speed of an output port is at least n times as that of an input port. Further suppose that the switching fabric speed is at least n times as fast as an input line speed. Then A. queuing can occur in an input port.B. queuing can occur in the switching fabric. C. queuing can occur in an output port.D. there is no queuing delay in the router.
For the sake of this example, let us assume that a packet is being sent from its origin to an address at the other end of the network through a fixed path. The following are other reasons for lateness: How long do the majority of total delays last, and what proportion of total delays are time-dependent?
Based on the information in the graph, we need to design a network addressing scheme that will supply the minimum number of hosts per subnet. For the WAN, between the 2 routers, the best mask to use is ________.
(a) In a generic router architecture, what major components are there? (b) Which components will an incoming datagram go through to get forwarded? (c) How does the roundabout analogy given in the textbook correlate to the internals of a router? (d) How do you relate the four types of nodal delays introduced in Chapter 1 to the forwarding process of a router?
Discuss the invocation semantics that can be achieved when the request-reply protocol is implemented over a TCP/IP connection, which guarantees that data is delivered in the order sent, without loss or duplication. {Note: Take into account all of the conditions causing a connection to be broken}
We have discussed several switching fabrics techniques for the design of a router. Is switching via memory is faster than switching via bus?
Is that so, or not? Consider a TCP connection where the most recent SampleRTT was 1 second. It is recommended that the TimeoutInterval be set to more than one second.
I would appreciate it if you could brief a coworker on the ARP protocol. Please specify both the layer it runs at and the kind of service it offers to the layer that is above it in the stack.
What does the term "connection status information" mean when applied to a virtual circuit network? A switch's forwarding database must be updated at a rate of one connection per millisecond for the rate at which it generates and removes connections in a VC network (on average).
What is the purpose of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) in network protocols, and how does it work?
