any assumptions that you are making for each application.
a) Streaming video client/server 10 6 M Y 2
b) Multiplayer online first-person shooting game
c) IRC (chat) client/server
d) Internet telephony voice channel
2. Consider sending the message 101010101101 with the CRC
generator polynomial x5 + x2 + 1. What sequence of bits would be 10 3 D Y 5
sent on the wire?
3. Two requirements of the Domain Name System (DNS) are (1) to
scale to large numbers of computers, and (2) to allow local
10 7 M N 2
organizations to administer their own naming systems. How does
DNS achieve these two goals?
4. Show the operation of Dijkstra’s algorithm for computing the least
cost path from E to all destinations.

8. Compare between distance-vector and link-state routing protocols in
10 5 E Y 5, 6

9. Suppose that you have been assigned IP address 132.128.0.0 and
have 9 networks in your organization that you wish to remain
10 4 D Y 5, 6
distinct. Give the subnet mask. Give the subnet addresses of the 9
distinct networks.
10. a What is the difference between a bridge and a repeater? Describe
what a repeater does and what its purpose is. Does a bridge achieve 5 2 M N 2
this same purpose?
