"Discuss the concept of Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM) and its significance in modern networking environments. Explain how VLSM allows for more efficient use of IP address space by enabling subnetting with varying subnet mask lengths within the same network. Describe the process of implementing VLSM and how it differs from traditional subnetting methods. Explore the advantages of VLSM, such as reduced address wastage and improved scalability, and provide examples of scenarios where VLSM would be beneficial in network design."

"Explain the concept of subnetting in computer networking and its role in IP address allocation. Describe the process of subnetting a given IP address space into smaller subnetworks with varying sizes. Discuss the benefits of subnetting, such as efficient address allocation, improved network management, and enhanced security. Additionally, explore subnetting strategies, such as classful and classless addressing, and their implications for network design and scalability."
State two advantages of dividing a communication system into layers such as e.g. is done in the TCP / IP stack with 5 layers from the application layer down to the physical layer. Also indicate if there is any possible disadvantage to stocking one communication system?
(a) The purpose of the OSI model is to show how to facilitate communication between different systems without requiring changes to the logic of the underlying hardware and software? In contrast to TCP/IP model this model is not practically implemented and TCP is practical. Why? Answer with valid reasons. (b) Nowadays, the “store-and-forward network” technique is not using in general communications, why? Also describe it’s working.
I. How can the TCP/IP protocol suite be further optimized to ensure low latency and high reliability for these applications, especially considering the inherent characteristics of TCP (congestion control, retransmission) that can sometimes introduce delays?
8. What is the fastest line speed at which a host can blast out 1500-byte TCP payloads with a 120 sec maximum packet lifetime without having the sequence numbers wrap around? Take TCP, IP, and Ethernet overhead into consideration. Assume that Ethernet frames may be sent continuously and one Ethernet PDU will hold each one.
Discuss the role of a Network Address Translation (NAT) device in the OSI model. At which layer does NAT primarily operate, and what problems does it solve in modern networking?
a) Explain the general functions provided by the Transport layer in the OSI reference model. In the TCP/IP implementation compare the differences between the two transport layer protocols, TCP and UDP. Give examples where each protocol would be used. b) Give details of the hardware and software required to configure a new managed switch or router for a network. Explain how the initial connection can be made to configure the device. What is the term given to this type of access.
In terms of performance, provide a simplified summary of the pros and cons of connectionless protocols in comparison to connection-based protocols, and compare and contrast the two kinds of protocols.
4. The original HTTP protocol used TCP/IP as the underlying protocol. For each page, graphic, or applet, a separate TCP connection was constructed, used, and terminated. This caused several problems: one referred to as the elephant and mice problem and two aspects of connection overhead. Describe both problems. Why were separate connections used? Would UDP rather than TCP be a good alternative? What solution would you propose to these problems to improve HTTP performance?
1) What is a Software Defined Network and how does it differ from a traditional (non-SDN) network? What are 3 advantages of an SDN? 2) We know that end to end error management is handled by TCP at the transport layer. So theoretically it is not necessary to implement error detection/correction at the link layer - yet it is implemented there. Why is it beneficial to implement error detection/correction at the link layer as well as the transport layer?
Discuss Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM) and its design considerations and show the requirements for the deployment of VLSM using 195.198.187.0 in an organization with three hierarchical levels showing the Subnet IDs and maximum capacity of hosts.
Communication between routers on the per-router control plane (or classical network) is accomplished using IP destination forwarding. To what extent does this message forwarding mechanism based on a recipient's IP address have restrictions? Provide at least three limitations, illuminating them via specific examples. The question is, what part does Software-Defined Networking (SDN) play in solving these problems? This will be explained with certain instances.
