Chapter 5, Problem P15P

a)

Explanation of Solution

Path selected by “I”:

The “I” will be equal to “I1” because this interface leads the least cost path form the 1d towards the gateway router “1c”...

b)

Explanation of Solution

Usage of AS-PATH:

Routers utilize AS-PATH attribute to identify and inhibit looping advertisements. It has a list of AS which helps in selecting among multiple paths available to the same prefix. In order to generate the AS-PATH, a prefix is passed to an AS. After passing the prefix, the AS adds its ASN to the existing list in the AS-PATH.

Usage of NEXT-HOP:

The NEXT-HOP attribute specifies the IP address of the first router which includes the advertised path to a given prefix...

c)

Explanation of Solution

Path selected by “I”:

Let us consider that another “AS” named AS5 is attached in between the path “AS2” and “AS4”.

  • The router “1d” can accessible “x” thro...

5.03-5. Dijkstra's Algorithm (3, part 5). Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra's link-state algorithm. Suppose that Dijkstra's algorithm has been run to compute the least cost paths from node E to all other nodes. Now suppose that source node E has a packet to send to destination node A. What is the first router to which E will forward this packet on its path to A? OF (A) 3 2 4 B 8 D 10 4 E 4 2 F
22. A datagram subnet allows routers to drop packets whenever they need to. The probability of a router discarding a packet is p. Consider the case of a source host connected to the source router, which is connected to the destination router, and then to the destination host. If either of the routers discards a packet, the source host eventually times out and tries again. If both host-router and router-router lines are counted as hops, what is the mean number of a. (a) hops a packet makes per transmission? b. (b) transmissions a packet makes? (c) hops required per received packet?
1. Consider a path from host A to host B through a router X as follows: A- -X-B The capacity of the link AX is denoted Ra, while the capacity of the link XB is denoted Rb in units of [bits/s]. Assume that Ra Ri. Is it possible that the second packet queues at input queue of the second link? Explain. Now suppose that host A sends the second packet T seconds after sending the first packet. How large must T be to ensure no queueing before the second link? Explain.
