Assignment 5 - Network Layer
R19 Answer: IPv6 has a fixed header size of 40 bytes where as IPv4 does not have. Header
checksum, reassembly, and fragmentation are features of IPv4 but not of IPv6
The traffic class, payload length, next header, and hop limit in IPv6 are similar to
type of service, datagram length, upper-layer protocol, and time to live in IPv4.
R20 Answer: As the full IPv6 datagram is contained in an IPv4 datagram, IPv6 treats IPv4
tunnels as link-layer protocols when port forwarding over IPv4 routers. Hence, I
R23 Answer: No, it is not necessary as every as it has an administrative control for routing.
R30 Answer: The AS-PATH is started through router interface called NEXT-HOP. The IP address
of the first router id through the advertised path received by the external AS for a
given prefix, is provided by the NEXT-HOP feature. It is also used when forwarding
P10 Answer: a forwarding table that has five entries, uses longest prefix match- ing, and forwards
packets to the correct link interfaces.
b. determines the appropriate link inter- face for datagrams with destination addresses:
Identify hosts are remaining 32-n bits. The network prefix defined is \x
224.0.0.0/10 0
224.64.0.0/16 1
224.65.0.0/7 2
Otherwise 3
