Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 4, Problem R6RQ
Explanation of Solution
- Input ports, output ports and switching fabric are implemented on hardware components because the datagram processing related to ports and fabric is very fast comparing to the software.
- Routing processor is implemented on software components because the processor is used to access protocols, tables and links related to routing...

What is meant by a control plane that is based on per-
router control? In such cases, when we say the network
control and data planes are implemented
"monolithically,"
what do we mean?
In the Internet protocol stack, how many layers are there? In what ways does each of these levels play a role? What levels of the Internet protocol stack does a router handle and how does it do so?
An entry in the switching table of a virtual-circuit network is normally created during the setup phase and
deleted during the teardown phase. In other words, the entries in this type of network reflect the current
connections, the activity in the network. In contrast, the entries in a routing table of a datagram network do
not depend on the current connections; they show the configuration of the network and how any packet
should be routed to a final destination. The entries may remain the same even if there is no activity in the
network. The routing tables, however, are updated if there are changes in the network. Can you explain the
reason for these two different characteristics? Can we say that a virtual-circuit is a connection oriented
network and a datagram network is a connectionless network because of the above characteristics?

- The four TCP/IP abstraction layers have me baffled.arrow_forward(b) The Internet Protocol (IP) can sometimes surprise with its flexibility. Since the overall design is close enough to the principles of the OSI Protocol Model, IP is independent of the Data Link and Physical network layers. And some Norwegians indeed showed successful IP network transmission is possible with carrier pigeons. If we would want to attempt to use carrier pigeons to establish a TCP connection between Canterbury and London, how long would it take to successfully establish the transmission under perfect conditions? (Assume the pigeons are perfectly reliable.) Explain how you come to your result. (1)arrow_forwardThe TCP/IP abstraction stack consists of four layers, each of which should be explained.arrow_forward
- A connectionless protocol, such as Ethernet, defines the route of a packet through source and destination addresses. However, a connection-oriented protocol, such as ATM, defines the route of a cell through virtual connection identifiers (VPIs and VCIs). Could you explain this statement?arrow_forwardThe four TCP/IP abstraction layers are as follows; please describe them in detail.arrow_forwardThe Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a transport layer protocol that provides full duplex, connection-oriented, and reliable delivery services. When we talk about full duplex, reliable delivery, and a focus on connections, what do we mean? In what ways are connections prioritized, and what exactly is meant by "reliable delivery" and "full duplex"?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardTransmittal protocols In the current state of network design, using both TCP and UPD has its pros and cons.arrow_forwardWe have discussed several switching fabrics techniques for the design of a router. Is switching via memory is faster than switching via bus?arrow_forward
- Is it actually the case that MAC addresses are where packet routing takes place when it comes to routers? Then could you please explain how it operates, and if you said no, could you please describe the apparatus that would be required to do the task, as well as how it operates?arrow_forwardI have no idea what routing is or how it operates, and I also have no clue what it is. It is really necessary to have a thorough comprehension of the distinctions that exist between the two routing methods that are used on a regular basis.arrow_forward(a) Name and describe two key network layer functions. (b) Name the three components required to create a virtual circuit on the network layer. (c) Briefly describe four (4) services the transport layer provides. (e) List the steps that take place in the TCP three-way handshake. (f) One of the mechanisms found in transport layer protocols (such as our discussed RDT 2.0) is acknowledgements. What happens if an acknowledgement is corrupted? What mechanism addresses this?arrow_forward
