13. Identify the given MAC address is unicast, multicast or broadcast
CASE STUDY:If an organization is granted a block of addresses starting with 14.24.74.0/24. It needs
to distribute these addresses to three subblocks as follows. (i) The first block of 10 addresses. (ii) The
second block of 60 addresses. (iii) The third block of 120 addresses. Referring to the case study
material shared, design the subblocks and give the slash notation for each subblock. Also, write the
block diagram of the design.

Innovative:CSMA, CSMA/CD and CSMA/ CD are the MAC protocols to reduce the congestion in a
network. Suggest a suitable among the above-mentioned MAC protocols for the Wired LAN network
and Wireless LAN network.
