6. Describe the format of routing information that is exchanged in distance vector
routing.
7. Give two advantages of using packet switching for data transmission.
8. Define the term SONET.
9. Give an account on private address.
10. What is the meaning of multiple IP address of router?
11. Give the format for UDP datagram and give the meaning for each field.
12. What is the main purpose of the second ring in the FDDI protocol?
13. Is 3.54.81.76 a class A, B,C or D IP address? What are the network ID and host
ID in decimal notation? Assume that subnets are not used.
14. What is the subnetwork address if the destination address is 200.45.34.56 and the
subnet mask is 255.255.240.0?
15. State which layers of the ISO/OSI model the following interconnecting device
operates. a) Repeaters b) Bridges c) Routers d) Gateways.

PART B
(4 or 6 marks)

1. Explain the working of Carrier Sense Multiple Access protocol.


2. How does a Token Ring LAN operate? Discuss.
3. List and briefly discuss the two different basic transmission technologies that can
be used to set up wireless LAN.
4. What is subnetting? Discuss. Also state which classes of IP address can be
subnetted.
5. List and briefly discuss the two different basic transmission technologies that can
be used to set up wireless LANs

(10 or 12 marks)

6. State the major differences between distance vector routing and link state routing.
Discuss how this routing techniques work.
7. How is the looping problem solved by switches and by routers? How do switches
or routers handle link failure?
8. Explain IP addressing.
9. Explain UDP in detail.
10. Explain the frame format of IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.5 in detail.
11. Explain about special IP addresses in detail.
12. How does the 802.11 media access control protocol ensure that the receiver has a
greater chance to transmit the acknowledgement frame before any other wireless
stations grab the media? Does it always guarantee that the acknowledgement
frame sent by the receiver will not collide with another frame transmitted by
another wireless station?
13. Describe the collision avoidance mechanism used in 802.11 wireless LAN. In
particular how such a mechanism solves the hidden terminal problem
