SECTION 5.1
R1. What is meant by a control plane that is based on per-router control? In such cases, when we say the network control and data planes are implemented “monolithically,” what do we mean?
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Per-router control:
Per-router control means that router algorithm works in each and every router. The forwarding and routing functions are organized within each router. Each router is connected with the router component in order to communicate with the routing component of the other router. This router communication is used to compute the values for its forwarding table. Internet uses this approach for decades and the protocols like OSPF and BGP protocols are based on the per-router approach to control.
Monolithically implementation of network control and data planes:
The reason for monolithically implementation of network control and data planes is that each router works as an independent entity that implements its own control and data planes.

An entry in the switching table of a virtual-circuit network is normally created during the setup phase and deleted during the teardown phase. In other words, the entries in this type of network reflect the current connections, the activity in the network. In contrast, the entries in a routing table of a datagram network do not depend on the current connections; they show the configuration of the network and how any packet should be routed to a final destination. The entries may remain the same even if there is no activity in the network. The routing tables, however, are updated if there are changes in the network.

- Problem 3 Consider the problem of deciding whether to implement a virtual- circuit or a datagram network. Assume a network protocol that allows the system to operate as either a virtual circuit network or a datagram network. That is, its packet header format is specified such that it incorporates both a VCI (Virtual Circuit Identifier) and an arbitrary source/destination addresses. When operating as a virtual circuit, it requires a 4-byte header. When operating as a datagram network, it requires a 40-byte header. Assume that there are 4 hops from source to destination, and that a set up or tear down request packet is 80 bytes (including the header). The total message length is 4096 bytes, the data rate is 9600 bps on all links and the packet size is 256 bytes (including the header). i) If we operate in the datagram mode, how long does it take for the first packet to reach the destination? If we operate in virtual-circuit mode, how long does it take for the first packet to reach the…arrow_forward(b) The Internet Protocol (IP) can sometimes surprise with its flexibility. Since the overall design is close enough to the principles of the OSI Protocol Model, IP is independent of the Data Link and Physical network layers. And some Norwegians indeed showed successful IP network transmission is possible with carrier pigeons. If we would want to attempt to use carrier pigeons to establish a TCP connection between Canterbury and London, how long would it take to successfully establish the transmission under perfect conditions? (Assume the pigeons are perfectly reliable.) Explain how you come to your result. (1)arrow_forward1. Build a Router network which has three Generic Routers and totally of Six networks in it.
