Chapter 1, Problem R1RQ
What is the difference between a host and an end system? List several different types of end systems. Is a Web server an end system?
Expert Solution & Answer
Program Plan Intro
Host:
- A host is a computer system or any device connected to other system or device in a network to exchange data.
- A network host provides required information or data resources, services, applications and many others to other users present in the network.
- It can be a network node related to the network address.
End System:
End systems are the computer systems used for communicating with the required information over the network. As the name suggests, these computer systems are placed at the edge of the network. The user interacts or communicates through the end systems are termed as end users.
Web Server:
Web server is a server related to both hardware and software components to serve the World Wide Web (WWW). A successful web server can have a standardized connection with external programs to exchange the messages and also to provide response to their requests.
Explanation of Solution
Differences between host and end system:
There is no difference between host and end system. In network, all the devices and systems are termed as host or end system. So, they can be used alternatively throughout the network.
Types of end systems:
The different types of end systems are as follows
- Personal Computer Systems
- Workstations
- Web Servers
- E-mail Servers
- Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
- Television
- Mobiles
- Internet connected devices and many others
Web server as an end system:
“Yes” web server can be termed as end system.
Reason:
- The web server interfaces are used to increase the efficiency of the web server by providing more services.
- The web server describes the connection with external programs to exchange the required information or data.

If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A.
(a) Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages.
(b) Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages.
(c) Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?

Our problem is a 2x2 binary sudoku, which in our case has two simple rules: •No column may contain the same value twice •No row may contain the same value twice If we assign each square in our sudoku to a variable like so: 1 V V₁ V3 V2 we want our circuit to output a solution to this sudoku. Note that, while this approach of using Grover's algorithm to solve this problem is not practical (you can probably find the solution in your head!), the purpose of this example is to demonstrate the conversion of classical decision problems into oracles for Grover's algorithm.

Each time the purchase_item method is called, the RetailItem object that is passed as an argument should be added to the list. A method named get_total that returns the total price of all the RetailItem objects stored in the CashRegister object’s internal list. A method named show_items that displays data about the RetailItem objects stored in the CashRegister object’s internal list.
