8. 06.11.2003 1st midterm

Describe internetworking connecting devices in clear sentences

(layers, operation, use etc.)

Solution

Connecting devices are divided into two categories

 Networking devices
 Internetworking devices
We have two types of internetworking devices
 Routers
 Gateways

Routers : Having Physical, Data Link and Network Layers, routers may route packets to
any connected network or network which is known to be accessible there off. If the
destination is on a connected network then router sends the data to the destination host.
Otherwise it tries to determine, using its routing tables, the best route to the destination,
possibly via another neighboring router and hands the data over to that router which does
the same analysis. Internet which is the network of networks works this way and the data
reaches its destination passing over several routers.

Gateways : These have all seven layers like any computer, which allows them to do
anything doable to a received packet. Usually they operate as a router. Additionally
installed software makes them capable of relaying data between different types of
networks which are otherwise incompatible and with different standards. For example a
gateway may receive data packets from a TCP/IP network and convert them to be
transferred to an AppleTalk (a Macintosh proprietary protocol) network. Gateways do
this by converting the headers and trailers (possibly adding some headers and discarding
some) to make them compatible to the destination standard.

A simple message exchange protocol (MEP) is designed to be connection oriented. In MEP a host with a
message to transfer to another simply establishes a connection and delivers the message if the connection is
successful. Otherwise it drops the message to a publicly known messaging center to be picked up by the
destination host when it gets on the line. Assume that sockets are created and bind successfully. Using the
methods Connect, Accept, Listen, GetData, SendData, Close and the events
Connect, Close, ConnectionRequest, DataArrival, Timeout draw timings of the
exchanges for three cases below.
a) Host A successfully delivers a message to host B.
b) A tries B. B does not answer. A drops the message to the message center (Host MC).
c) B gets on line and connects to MC to pick up messages (if any) waiting for itself.

A local network with 3 routers and

3 subnets is connected as shown in
the figure. Assume that a Class-C
IP (MyNet/24) range has been
divided into four 64-IP sub-ranges
and assigned to subnets NA, NB and
NC. One sub-range has been left
unused as spare. Connections
between routers are done using
10.x.x.x IP numbers. Answer the
following accordingly.

1. Which of the following is most likely incorrect?

a) in B : default -> IAB b) in C : default -> IBC c) in A : default -> ICA
d) in C : default -> IAC e) in A : NB/26 -> IBA
(this setting will cause packets circling around and going nowhere. The default gateway
for router A shall be IISP)

2. Which of the following is most likely incorrect?

a) IA = an IP from NA range. b) a host setting in NC : GW=IISP, NM=26 bits
c) a host setting in NB : GW=IB, NM=26 bits d) ID = IBC e) NM of IAB is 16 bits.
(Gateway IP must be in the same network, otherwise it won’t work. Another suspicious
setting is to have ID = IBC which actually poses no problem since these small two device
networks need not see each other.)

3. Which of the following is most likely incorrect?

a) in ISP : MyNet/24 -> IA b) in B : NC/27 -> ICB c) in A : GW=IISP
d) IAB=10.0.0.1 and IBA=10.10.10.10 e) a host setting in NC : nameserver=IA
(ISP does not see IA. The correct setting should be MyNet/24 -> ID. Since nameserver
IP can be any IP which reside on the host who runs the name-service, e is an OK setting.
We may decide to route some packets to NC through IBC-ICB network and the rest through
A which probably is a default GW for B. So, b is also OK.)

4. In ethernet networks every host needs at least one …………

a) transport layer b) ethernet adapter c) IP address d) modem e) gateway

5. UTP ethernet networks are usually connected using ………….

a) software b) friendship c) RJ-45 d) RJ-13 e) fiber cables

………

a) b) c)

d) e)

10. Repeaters operate similar to ……… which also just create electronic nodes to extend
the cable length.
a) Ethernet hubs b) Bridges c) Ethernet switches d) Connectors e) Hoppers

a) uses only optical-fiber so it is really fast
b) is not backward compatible with old ethernet.
c) runs 2000 meters with twisted pair cable d) switches are full-duplex
e) hubs are 10 Mbps

12. Which one of the following is incorrect?

a) Full-duplex means simultaneous transmission and reception.
b) Simplex device cannot talk back.
c) One of the reliability measures of networks is the robustness in catastrophe.
d) On a dedicated link there can only be two devices.
