Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem R1RQ
Consider the transportation analogy in Section 6.1.1. If the passenger is analagous to a datagram, what is analogous to the link layer frame?
Expert Solution & Answer
Program Plan Intro
Link Layer:
- In the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, data link layer is the 2nd layer. This layer is used to transfer data between neighboring network nodes on a Wide Area Network or on the same Local Area Network.
- This layer uses error detection bits and it corrects the errors.
Explanation of Solution
Transportation analogy:
In the section 6.1.1, the travel agent plans a trip for tourists from different places.
- The travel agent decides the convenient plans for the tourists and the agent makes three reservations.
- The three reservation trips are direct between two adjacent locations and also they contain different transportation modes.
- Here, if the passengers are analogous to the datagram, then the transportation modes are analogous to the link layer frame.
Therefore, the transportation modes are analogous to link layer frame.

Let’s consider the operation of a learning switch in the context of a network in which 6 nodes labeled A through F are star connected into an Ethernet switch. Suppose that (i) B sends a frame to E, (ii) E replies with a frame to B, (iii) A sends a frame to B, (iv) B replies with a frame to A. The switch table is initially empty. Show the state of the switch table before and after each of these events. For each of these events, identify the link(s) on which the transmitted frame will be forwarded, and briefly justify your answers.
