Unit-3
1. Explain the need for ICMP with a suitable example.
2. An ISP is granted a block of addresses starting with
150.80.0.0/16.the ISP wants to distribute these blocks to
2600 customers as follows
i)The first group has 200 medium size businesses;each
need 128 addresses.
ii)The second group has 400 small businesses;each need
16 addresses.
iii) The third group has 2000 households ;each need 4
addresses.
Design the sub blocks and give the slash notation for
each sub block.Find out how many addresses are still
available after these allocations.

3. . An ISP is granted a block of addresses starting with

190.100.0.0/16.The ISP needs to distribute these
addresses to 3 groups of customers as follows:
a)Group 1 has 64 customers each needs 256 addresses.
b)Group 2 has 128 customers each needs 128 addresses.
c)Group 3 has 128 customers each needs 64 addresses.
Design the sub blocks and give the slash notation for
each sub block.how many addresses are still available
after these allocations?
4. Differentiate circuit switching and packtet switching
with suitable application example.
5. Illustrate IPV4 header format and compare with IPv6.
6. change the following IPv4 addresses from dotted-
decimal notation to binary notation.
i)111.56.45.78
ii)221.34.7.82
7. An ISP is granted a block of addresses starting with
201.101.0.0/16(65,536 addresses).The ISP needs to
distribute these addresses to two groups of customers as
follows:
i)The 1 group has 64 customers;each customer needs 256
addresses.
ii) The 2 group has 128 customers;each customer needs
64 addresses.
8. Explain the working of address Resolution protocol
with an example.
9.i) outline IPv4 classful and classless addressing with
examples.
ii) Assume that you are given a network ID
165.121.0.0.you are responsible for creating subnets on
the network and each subnet must provide at least 900
host IDs.What subnet mask meets the requirement for
the minimum number of host IDs and provides the
greatest number of subsets?
10. Discuss the mechanism involved in IPV6
addressing.also compare IPV4 with IPV6.
11. Discuss in detail about packet switching techniques
with its suitable example.
12. Describe the error reporting using ICMP protocol.
How dose Trace route program makes use of ICMP to
determine the name and addresses of the routers
between source and destination?
13. Explain the strategies involved in transition of Ipv4 to
Ipv6 in detail with neat sketch.
14. Describe circuit-switching and packet-switching with
an example.
