 Part II. Short Answer

1. What is encapsulation?
Encapsulation: This is the process of wrapping the data into packets with additional information (headers) like
source and destination addresses, routing protocols, and error-checking mechanisms. These packets are the
fundamental units of data transmission on a network, making encapsulation the crucial process for sending
data from one host to another.

7. Compare and contrast copper wire, glass fiber, and satellite transmission media.
 Copper wire is the most affordable option but is limited in distance and speed. It's a good choice
for short-distance connections like home networks or within buildings.
 Glass fiber is the best option for high-speed, long-distance data transmission, such as backbone networks
and internet connections. However, it's more expensive and requires specialized equipment.
 Satellite is suitable for covering wide areas, especially in remote locations, but it has limited bandwidth,
high latency, and is weather-dependent.

 • What is the difference between a connection-oriented network and a
connectionless network?
Connection-oriented networks:
Establish a connection: Before sending data, devices set up a virtual circuit between them, This
involves handshakes, exchanging information like sequence numbers, and ensuring a dedicated path for
data flow.
Guaranteed delivery: Data packets are transmitted in order and retransmitted if errors occur, ensuring
complete and accurate delivery.
Flow control: Both sender and receiver manage the data flow to avoid overloading the network.
Congestion control: Mechanisms like backpressure are used to prevent network congestion when traffic
is high.
Security: Connection setup offers opportunities for authentication and encryption, potentially enhancing
security.
Connectionless networks:
No prior connection: Data packets are sent individually without establishing a dedicated path.
No guaranteed delivery: Packets travel independently and may arrive out of order, be duplicated, or
even lost.
No flow control or congestion control: Data is sent without explicit flow management, potentially
leading to congestion.
Simple and efficient: Less overhead due to the lack of connection setup makes this approach faster and
more lightweight.
Lower cost: Requires less infrastructure and management, making it a cost-effective solution for some
applications.

9. What are the two kinds of twisted-pair cable? Which is preferred? Why?

+ Unshelded Twisted Pair (UTP)

+ Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)

Which is preferred depends on several factors:
+Cost: UTP is significantly cheaper than STP.
+Performance: STP generally offers better signal quality and noise immunity, making it more reliable
for high data rates and critical applications.
+Environment: If your cable runs through areas with high levels of EMI, like fluorescent lights or
power lines, STP will provide better protection.
+Installation: STP cables are thicker and more difficult to work with than UTP, potentially increasing
installation costs.
Generally:
For home networks and low-noise environments, UTP is usually sufficient and cost-
effective.
For high-speed data networks, critical applications, and noisy environments, STP is the
preferred choice for its superior performance and noise immunity.

Refer to the exhibit.

+ The connection between router vs router, the router with less than ID will be configured the Start-IP.
+ The connection between router vs PC, the router will be configured the Start-IP, PC will be
configured Start-IP + 1.
+ Using static routing with Next-Hop to routing for this diagram. Routes are configured following the
arrow in the diagram.
a) Configure IP for PCs (0.5 point)
Write commands to:
b) Configure IP for router R1 (0.5 point)

27
 c) Configure IP for router R2 (0.5 point)
d) Configure IP for router R3 (0.5 point)
e) Static routing (1.0 point)

A new office building of DTU is being constructed at 03 Quang Trung St. and will be finished this
year. The building is planned to install 1,000 devices (hosts) for staff. Currently, DTU uses the
10.10.0.0/16 address space.
a) How many valid host addresses are available within the DTU network 10.10.0.0/16?
b) How many bits must the network administrator borrow to provide addresses for the
subnet of the new office building without wasting addresses?
c) What is the subnet mask that should be associated with the newly created subnet?
d) Assuming that there are two departments (A and B) that will be working in this building
(500 hosts for each department). Each department needs a separate LAN. What is the
subnet mask that should be associated with the subnet of each department without
wasting addresses?
e) Assuming that 10.10.15.20/XY is one of the valid host addresses of the subnet for
department A (Note that XY is the subnet mask from question d). What is the network
address and broadcast address of this subnet?
f) One of the printers of department A is assigned the address 10.10.16.20/XY. No one
in department A is able to print with this printer. What is the cause of the problem?
