Explanation of Solution

Database:

Database is a collection of information that is used to store and retrieve the data. Data is organized in tables.

Hierarchy of Data:

The hierarchy of data is specified in tree-like structure. The records are connected through links. The database elements are,

  • Table or File
  • Records or Rows
  • Fields or Columns
  • Bytes or Characters

Metadata:

Metadata gives information about other data or simply, it is a data about the data.

  • It provides the description about the characteristics or properties of end user data and environment of the data.
  • The environment includes the source of the data, where it is stored, usage, and so on.
  • It gives all the information about a data.

Relationship among the rows:

  • Using the examples of “student” and the “office_visit” tables the relationship can be described as one to one relationship.
  • Because the student number in the “student” table and the student number in the “office_visit” table have the unique student number.
  • If any modification is made concerning the student number in the “student” table, then it is automatically updated in the “office_visit” table...

What happens to MAC addresses as frames travel from one node (device) to another? What happens to MAC addresses as frames travel from one network to another?  What happens to IP addresses as packets travel from one node (device) to another? What happens to IP addresses as packets travel from one network to another?
Can you check if my explation is correct: Challenge: Assume that the assigned network addresses are correct. Can you deduce (guess) what the network subnet masks are?  Explain while providing subnet mask bits for each subnet mask.  [Hint:  Look at the addresses in binary and consider the host ids]     To assume that the network addresses are correct, we take a look at the network ID and IP addresses. Take 20.0.0.0/8, we have an /8 prefix which is Class A, that provide us with 255.0.0.0. This means that there are 24 host bits while the network bits are 8. When compared to the IP address 20.255.0.7, we can perform an additional operation with the subnet mask giving us 20.0.0.0. The same happened with 20.0.0.89, which we also got 20.0.0.0. Therefore, these two IP addresses fall within the respective /8 subnet. For 200.100.10.0/30, the /30 is Class C with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252, meaning 30 network bits and only two host bits. When applying the subnet mask and the IP addresses…
It is possible to sort an array of n values using pipeline of n filter processes.The first process inputs all the values one at a time, keep the minimum, and passes the others on to the next process. Each filter does the same thing; it receives a stream of values from the previous process, keep the smallest, and passes the others to the next process. Assume each process has local storage for only two values--- the next input value and the minimum it has seen so far. (a) Developcode for filter processes. Declare the channels and use asynchronous message passing. Hint:Define an array of channels value[n] (int), and a set of filter processes Filter[i = 0 ton-1]. Each process Filter[i] (where 0 <= i <= n-2) receives a stream of integers through channelvalue[i], keeps the smallest, and sends all other integers to channel value[i+1]. The last processFilter[n-1] receives only one integer through channel value[n-1] and does not need to send anyinteger further.
