10 Questions
What is the primary reason for the adoption of IPv6?
To increase the address space and eliminate the need for NATs
What is the purpose of the 'next header' field in the IPv6 datagram format?
To identify the upper-layer protocol for the data
What is the benefit of tunneling in the transition from IPv4 to IPv6?
It enables IPv6 datagrams to be carried as payload in IPv4 datagrams
What is the role of the routing algorithm in the network layer?
To determine the end-to-end path through the network
What is the key question in the graph abstraction of the network?
What is the least-cost path between two nodes?
What is the purpose of the 'flow label' field in the IPv6 datagram format?
To identify the flow of datagrams to which this packet belongs
What is the benefit of the hierarchical routing approach?
It increases the scalability of the network
What is the purpose of the 'hop limit' field in the IPv6 datagram format?
To specify the maximum number of hops the datagram can take
What is the difference between intra-AS and inter-AS routing?
Intra-AS routing is used within an autonomous system, while inter-AS routing is used between autonomous systems
What is the role of the forwarding table in the network layer?
To determine the local forwarding at each router
Test your understanding of routing algorithms in computer networks, including distance vector and hierarchical routing protocols. Learn about the properties and limitations of these algorithms and how they are used to route data in complex networks.
