Chapter 6, Problem 2RQ

Explanation of Solution

Network topology:

  • The shape or structure of a network is called as network topology that includes the planning of the communication links and hardware devices on the network.
  • The signal types, transmission rates, distance between devices and physical interconnection may differ between networks, but they may all have the same topology.

Three network topology:

The three most common types of network topology are:

  • Star topology
  • Mesh topology
  • Bus topology

Star topology:

  • It contains single central hub, while all of computers or nodes are connected to central hub.
  • Communicate with any computer but communication takes place only through common hub.
  • Failure in one computer does not affect the performance of the network.
  • Source can send the data to the destination directly to the central hub...

I would like to get help to draw an object relationship diagram for a typical library system.
Given the network of bridges in figure, and assuming that LAN ports on A, B, C, D, E, J are 10 Mbs (cost 100 for ports) except for  ports on F, G, I, H, K which are 100Mbps LANs (cost 19 for ports)   Draw the obtained spanning tree, cross the blocking state ports, and circle the designated ports and write the best cost broadcasted by each router next to its root port.    list in logic level detail the expected last STP messages that will define the final status at each router.
