Destination-based forwarding:

Destination based forwarding is a packet forwarding technique which is based on the destination address. Every data packet used in the transmission has the information of the address of the required destination.

A packet switch receives a packet and determines the outbound link to which the packet should be forwarded. When the packet arrives, one other packet is halfway done being transmitted on this outbound link and four other packets are waiting to be transmitted. Packets are transmitted in order of arrival. Suppose all packets are 1,200 bytes and the link rate is 2 Mbps. What is the queuing delay for the packet? More generally, what is the queuing delay when all packets have length L, the transmission rate is R, x bits of the currently-being-transmitted packet have been transmitted, and n packets are already in the queue?
Suppose that an arriving packet matches two or more entries in a router's forwarding table. With traditional destination-based forwarding, what rule does a router apply to determine which of these rules should be applied to determine the output port to which the arriving packet should be switched?
Suppose an arrival packet suits two or more entries in the forwarding table of a router. For conventional destination-based transmission, what law does a router have to apply to decide the output port to which the packet is to be switched?'
