Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of the Spanning Tree algorithm in a network?

  • To maximize the number of connections between nodes.
  • To connect all nodes with the minimum total edge weight. (correct)
  • To ensure there is at least one cycle in the network.
  • To minimize the number of nodes in the network.
  • Which of the following components are represented by the boxes in the network diagram?

  • Network segments
  • Bridge IDs (correct)
  • Edge weights
  • Connection costs
  • If a cycle is formed during the construction of the spanning tree, what should be done?

  • Add more edges to the cycle to strengthen it.
  • Remove the edge with the highest weight from the cycle. (correct)
  • Keep the cycle as it is necessary for connectivity.
  • Ignore it and continue without any changes.

    Study Notes

    Spanning Tree Algorithm Analysis

    • A network diagram is presented, showing numbered boxes (bridges) and lettered clouds (network segments).
    • The numbered boxes represent bridge IDs.
    • The lettered clouds represent network segments.
    • The diagram shows connections between bridges with associated costs (e.g., 24, 92, 12, 4, 5, 7).
