ENG2003 Tutorial 3 Questions

Q1. Consider the following network.

(a) Construct the routing table of router A with the following format.

Network Destination Gateway Interface

… … …

(b) Suppose the connection between router A and router B is broken. Update the

Q2. Consider the following setup.

Explain how Network Address Translation (NAT) and port forwarding work by considering a
situation that a client behind NAT router B is trying to access a web server behind NAT
router A. You may assume the server is listening on port 80. Port forwarding rules for the web
server has been pre-defined on NAT Router A.

State clearly the source and destination IP addresses of the packets before and after each
NAT router. You should consider BOTH in-bound and out-bound connections.
