Problem: (i) Compare the functionality of n-port bridges with two-port bridges. a. Can every configuration built with n-port bridges be build with two-port bridges? b. Suppose a topology consists of n LANs interconnected with a single n-port bridge. In that topology a packet always requires a single hop to get from any LAN to any other LAN. Can the same be accomplished with two-port bridges only? What is the minimum hop configuration of n-LANs interconnected with two-port bridges? (ii)In a networking environment where bridges are used as the interconnecting devices, how is it possible for a destination to be reachable by source routing but the source routing path to be much worse than the spanning tree path? |
