The assignment requires two programming tasks. The first task is to create a function called RouterInterfaces that returns the number of interfaces for routers numbered 1, 2, 3, ... without using loops or multiplication. The second task is to code a system that manages different types of ports and traffic in a network. The system needs to manage the traffic allowed in the ports by saving the protocol name, type, and port number, as well as the action the port should take when that traffic appears (drop or allow).
