Network Layer Protocol


Question 1
The forwarding table of a router is shown below.
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \\ Subnet \; Number&Subnet \;Mask&Interface ID \\ \hline 200.150.0.0 &255.255.0.0& 1\\ \hline 200.150.64.0 &255.255.224.0 &2\\ \hline 200.150.68.0 &255.255.255.0 &3\\ \hline 200.150.68.64 &255.255.255.224 &4 \\ \hline Default & &0\\ \hline \end{array}

Question 3
Consider a network with three routers P, Q, R shown in the figure below. All the links have cost of unity.

The routers exchange distance vector routing information and have converged on the routing tables, after which the link Q-R fails. Assume that P and Q send out routing updates at random times, each at the same average rate. The probability of a routing loop formation (rounded off to one decimal place) between P and Q, leading to count-to-infinity problem, is ____
A
0.25
B
0.33
C
0.50
D
0.75

  1. Q.No.92 Option-C to be read as “IP ensures that a packet is discarded if it is unable to reach its destination within a given number of hops”
    pls rectify.
