(10 Marks)

Sample 1 Why OSI model adopted layered model ?

Week 1, slide 41

Sample 2 Using layered OSI model to analyse how IP addressed datagrams are encapsulated with
MAC addressed frames for transmission through link layer devices, and later be restored for
network layer devices.

Week1 slide 40

Sample 3 What are the first three bits of 15.0.0.0 network ? Based on the first three bits, what
class the network is and how many class C subnetwork can it accommodate, with justification.

Week 2 slide 32

Sample 4. Suppose a frame size is 1024 bytes, the distance is 3000 km. If each data frame is required an acknowledgement, then the next frame
will not be sent before the acknowledgement received, what will be the throughput if the link bandwidth is 1000 Mbps (1Gbps).

Question 4 60 marks
Company ‘Smart Software International’ has four regional offices D1 to D4 connected as shown in Fig. 2. D1 and D4 have only IPv4 available, while
D2 and D3 are on both IPv6 and IPv4 network. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using dual stack approach to design the IPv4 and IPv6
networks, and create a network solution for the company to meet the following requirements:

D1 D2 D3

s0/0/1 R3
F0/0
F0/0 R2 F0/0 s0/0/0
s0/1/0
s0/0/0 R4
R1 s0/0/0 s0/0/0
s0/0/1 s0/0/1 F0/0

D4
Figure 2

a) Support all computers in each regional office:

D1: 3800 computers,

D2: 1350 computers,
D3: 4200 computers,
D4: 1850 computers;

b) The company has acquired from ISP an allocation of 10.0.0.0/10 and 2019:3:4::/48.

c) R1 supports IPv4 only, all the rest of the routers supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

Note: You need to follow the answer guides 1) to 8) to provide an analysis to the solution selection and the design of the network
(connectivity design, network design, ip allocation, routing design, configuration design /scripts).

This example use dual stack, as all netowrk supports v4; in some cases, tunnel design is needed.
In this question, if tunnel is required to connect R1 and R4, the tunnel will be from R2 to R4, not R1 to R4 as R1 has no IPv6.

N7: R2R4 link : 2+2=4 2^2
N8: R3R4 link : 2+2=4 2^2

Step 2

Start with the largest network : D3, 13 bits

Given 10.0.0.0 / 10 means the network is 10. 00| xx xxxx. Xxxx xxxx. Xxxx xxxx here
x can be either 1 or 0
NIT5110 Networking Systems Semester Tri-3, 2018 Page 8 of 20
 Take 13 bits from the right : 10.00 SS SSSS. SSS | x xxxx. Xxxx xxxx , S are subnet
bits, x can be either 1 or 0, host bits

1st subnetwork for D3: 10. 00 | 00 0000. 000 | x xxxx. Xxxx xxxx
Range: 10. 0. 0.0 - 10. 00 | 00 0000 . 000 | 1 1111. 1111 1111 => 10.0.0.0 -
10.0.31.255
Mask: all the network bits: 255.1111 1111. 111 0 0000.0000 0000 => 255.255. 224.0
Network address: 10.0.0.0 first address for router R3 f0/0: 10.0.0.1

Step 3 2nd subnetwork for further division

10. 00|00 0000. 001 | x xxxx. Xxxx xxxx

Step 4 Next, take the second largest network, D1, 12 bits

Take 12 bits from the right of what Step 3 given

10. 00 | 00 0000. 001 | S | xxxx. Xxxx xxxx S are subnet bits, x can be either 1 or 0,
host bits

1st subnetwork is for D1: 10. 00 | 00 0000. 001 | 0 | xxxx. Xxxx xxxx
Range: 10.0. 001 0 0000. 0000 0000 – 10.0. 001 0 1111.1111 1111 => 10.0.32.0 –
10.0.47.255
Mask: all the network bits: 255.1111 1111. 111 1 0000.0000 0000 => 255.255.
240.0
Network address: 10.0.32.0 first address 10.0.32.1 for router R1 f0/0

Step 5, 2nd subnetwork in Step 4

10. 00 | 00 0000. 001 | 1 | xxxx. Xxxx xxxx

Step 6 take the 3rd largest network, D4, 12 bits

Take the 2nd subnetwork left in Step 4, right 12 bits

Range: 10.0. 001 1 0000. 0000 0000 – 10.0. 001 1 1111.1111 1111 => 10.0.48.0 –
10.0.63.255
Mask: all the network bits: 255.1111 1111. 111 1 0000.0000 0000 => 255.255.
240.0
Network address: 10.0.48.0 first address 10.0.48.1 for router R4 f0/0

NIT5110 Networking Systems Semester Tri-3, 2018 Page 9 of 20

Step 7 take the 4th largest network, D2, 11 bits

Review that step 6 left no subnetwork, go back step 5, the subnetwork has been fully
allocated; back to step 3, the 2nd subnetwork has been fully allocated; now we need the
3rd subnetwork

10. 00|00 0000. 010 | x xxxx. Xxxx xxxx host has 13 bits , 11 bits for hosts, 2 bits for
subnetwork

10. 00|00 0000. 010 | S S | xxx. Xxxx xxxx S are subnet bits, x can be either 1 or 0,

1st subnetwork is
10. 00|00 0000. 010 | 0 0 | xxx. Xxxx xxxx

Range: 10.0. 010 00 000. 0000 0000 – 10.0. 010 00 111.1111 1111 => 10.0.64.0 –
10.0.71.255
Mask: all the network bits: 255.1111 1111. 111 11 000.0000 0000 => 255.255.
248.0
Network address: 10.0.64.0 first address 10.0.64.1 for router R2 f0/0

Step 8, 2nd subnetwork in Step 7

10. 00|00 0000. 010 | 01 | xxx. Xxxx xxxx

We have N5 to N8 4 link subnetwork, each needs 2 bits; as they are same size they can
be

10. 00|00 0000. 010 | 01 | SSS. SSSS SS | xx

N5: 10.0. 010 | 01 | 000. 0000 | 00 | xx network 10.0. 72.0 available IP: .1 and .
