the function of each of them.
b) Draw and explain IEEE 802.1I Wireless LAN frame structure.
Module -3
l5 a) Consider the following subnet.

Distance vector routing is used, and the following vectors have just come in to
router C: from B: (5, 0, 8, 12, 6,2); from D: (16, 12, 6, 0, 9, l0); and from E:
(7,6,3,9,0,4).
The measured delays to B, D, and E, are 6,3, and 5, respectively. What is C's
new routing table? Give both the outgoing line to use and the expected delay.

b) Illustrate the packet routing process of mobile hosti.

performance? Describe any five congestion control techniques for datagram
networks.
b) Explain the steps involved in Multicast routing.
