14Forwarding is a router’s local action of transferring packets from its input interfaces to its output interfaces, and forwarding takes place at very short timescales (typically a few nanoseconds), and thus is typically implemented in hardware.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15Suppose that an arriving packet matches two or more entries in a router’s forwarding table. With traditional destination-based forwarding, what rule does a router apply to determine which of these rules should be applied to determine the output port to which the arriving packet should be switched?

- Cc.Use longest prefix matching to determine which link interface to forward the packet
- Dd. None of these rules.
16What two types of ICMP messages are received at the sending host executing the Traceroute program?

- Cc. ICMP warning message (type 9 code 0) and a destination port unreachable ICMP message (type 3 code 3).
- Dd. ICMP Bad IP Header (type 12 code 0) and a destination host unknown ICMP message (type 3 code 7).
17True or false: Link state algorithms: Computes the least-cost path between source and destination using complete, global knowledge about the network.
- ATrue
- BFalse
18What is the purpose of the SNMP trap message?
- Aa. A response to a managed device for which the device’s managing server requires notification.
- Bb.A response to a request on a managed device for which the device’s managing server requires notification.
- Cc. All are correct.
- Dd.It is used for notifying a managing server of an exceptional situation (e.g., a link interface going up or down) that has resulted in changes to MIB object values.

- Aa.SDN’s network-control Controller (network operating system) layer
- Bb. Added to all three layers.
- Cc. SDN’s network-control application layer
- Dd. SDN’s network-control data plane layer

- Aa.
Performance - Bb.
Scale - Cc.
All are correct. - Dd.
Policy
- Aa.
21Routers use the AS-PATH attribute to detect and prevent looping advertisements; they also use it in choosing among multiple paths to the same prefix.
- ATrue
- BFalse
22The NEXT-HOP attribute indicates the IP address of the first router along an advertised path (outside of the AS receiving the advertisement) to a given prefix. When configuring its forwarding table, a router uses the NEXT-HOP attribute.
- ATrue
- BFalse
23Logically centralized control means that a logically central routing controller computes and distributes the forwarding tables to be used by each and every router, and each router does not compute its forwarding table, unlike the per-router control.
- ATrue

24True or false: When an OSPF route sends its link state information, it is sent only to those nodes directly attached neighbors.
- ATrue
- BFalse
25Define the following terms: subnet

A subnet does not contain a router; - Cc.
A subnet is a portion of a larger network; - Dd.
Its boundaries are defined by the router and host interfaces.

31With IP, datagrams in the same TCP connection can take different routes in the network, and therefore arrive out of order. TCP is still needed to provide the receiving end of the application the byte stream in the correct order.
- ATrue
- BFalse
32If we using the analogy of cocktail party interactions, in Token Ring protocol, a discussion leader allows only one participant to talk at a time, with each participant getting a chance to talk in a round-robin fashion.
- ATrue

33Suppose nodes A, B, and C each attach to the same broadcast LAN (through their adapters). If A sends thousands of IP datagrams to B with each encapsulating frame addressed to the MAC address of B, what will C’s adapter process do for these frames?

- BC’s adapter will not process the frames, and the adapter will not pass the datagrams up the protocol stack
- CC’s adapter will process the frames, but the adapter will not pass the datagrams up the protocol stack
- DC’s adapter will process the frames, but the adapter will pass the datagrams up the protocol stack

- Bb. 2^64 Bits
- Cc. 2^32 Bits
- Dd. 2^48 Bits

- ATrue
- BFalse
36Suppose nodes A, B, and C each attach to the same broadcast LAN (through their adapters). If A sends thousands of IP datagrams to B with frames with the MAC broadcast address of B, what will C’s adapter process these frames in this case?
