This document outlines two homework questions for a computer communication networks course. The first question asks the student to discuss the consequences of a connection failure for four different network topologies: a mesh, star, bus, and ring topology each with five devices. The second question provides a diagram of a network with computers A and D connected through two local area networks and a router, and asks the student to show the contents of packets and frames at the network and data link layers for each hop interface.

Question 1: For each of the following four networks, discuss the consequences if a connection fails. a. Five devices arranged in a mesh topology b. Five devices arranged in a star topology (not counting the hub) c. Five devices arranged in a bus topology d. Five devices arranged in a ring topology Question 2: In figure below, computer A sends a message to computer D via LAN1, router R1, and LAN2. Show the contents of the packets and frames at the network and data link layer for each hop interface.
