Task2: Info regarding DNS records for a corporation, TechCorp:
Name Type Value
techcorp.com NS ns1.techcorp.com
techcorp.com NS ns2.techcorp.com
techcorp.com MX mail.techcorp.com
ns1.techcorp.com A 102.55.123.1
ns2.techcorp.com A 102.55.123.2
server.techcorp.com A 102.55.123.3
www.techcorp.com CNAME server.techcorp.com
mail.techcorp.com A 102.55.123.4

1. Write the IP addresses of Authoritative DNS servers for the domain techcorp.com.
2. What is the IP address of their web server?
3. What is the IP address of their mail server?

Task3:
A network packet of size 2,000 bytes needs to be sent over a link with a bandwidth of 50
Mbps. Each router the packet encounters has a processing delay of 1 millisecond, but due
to network congestion, the packet experiences queueing delays of 5, 10, and 15
milliseconds at the first, second, and third routers, respectively. If the propagation delay
between each router and between the source and first router, as well as the final router
and destination, is 5 milliseconds, what is the total delay for the packet to reach from the
source to the destination?

Hints:
 You will need to calculate the transmission delay using the link bandwidth and packet
size.
 Add up individual processing delays for each router.
 Add up individual queueing delays for each router.
 Calculate the total propagation delay including all segments between routers and the
endpoints.
