68,79,90,94,98,96,97,114,119,121) SET-1 level Mapping
1. What is tunnelling in the context of the network 2 3
layer, and how is it used for secure
communication?
2 What challenges does NAT pose for certain types 3 3
of applications, and how can these challenges be
addressed?
3 Subnet the IP address [Link] into 500 hosts in 3 3
each subnet.
4 Consider a network connecting two systems 4 3
located 4000 kilometres apart. The bandwidth of
the network is 64 Mbps. The propagation speed
of the medium is 2 x 10^8 meters/second. What is
the minimum size of a frame that can be used on
this network if it is to be used efficiently?
(Assume no error during transmission)
5 In a connection-oriented service, frames are 4 3
exchanged between two machines over a link
using the Stop-and-Wait protocol. The
transmission time of a frame is 10ms and the
propagation delay on the link is 15ms. If the time
taken for acknowledgement of a frame is
negligible, what is the efficiency of the protocol?

SET-2 level Mapping
1. Compare the classes A, B and C of the IP 2 3
addressing formats.
2 Explain the need for Classless Inter Domain 2 3
Routing (CIDR) and how it is useful.
3 How does NAT work. State 2 problems of NAT 3 3
4 Explain the IPv4 header format. 2 3
5 An IP datagram of size 1000 bytes arrives at a 4 3
router. The router must forward this packet.
On a link whose MTU is 100 bytes. Assume that
the size of the IP header is 20 bytes. Compute the
number of fragments that the IP datagram will be
divided into for transmission.

SET-3 level Mapping
1. Explain the concept of subnets, using an example. 2 3
2 List and explain the importance in the design of the 2 3
network layer for the Internet.
3 What is the need for Supernetting and Subnetting. 3 3
4 Explain the OSPF interior gateway routing
protocol.
5 Many consecutive IP addresses are available 4 3
starting at [Link]. Suppose that four
organizations A, B, C and D request 4,000, 2,000,
4,000 and 8,000 addresses, respectively, and in that
order. For each of these, give the first IP address
assigned, and the mask in the w.x.y.z/v notation.

SET-4 level Mapping
1. Compare IPv4 with IPv6 2 3
2 Differentiate between Distance Vector Routing 2 3
and Link State Routing.
3 Explain the BGP exterior gateway routing 2 3
protocol
4 A sub-netted class C network [Link] has a 3 2
subnet mask of [Link]. Please list the
following: number of networks, number of hosts
per network, the full range of the first three
networks, and the usable address range from those
first three networks.
5 How does Network Address Translation (NAT) 2 3
work, and what are its advantages and
disadvantages?
