COIT20261 Network Routing & Switching: Routing Protocols Analysis

This document presents a student's solution to a Network Routing and Switching assignment (COIT20261) focusing on routing concepts, fragmentation in IPv4, and congestion control in TCP. The solution includes answers to questions about network diagrams, next-hop addresses, interface selection, hop counts, and routing table completion. It further explores IPv4 fragmentation with detailed calculations of fragment sizes and offsets. The assignment delves into TCP congestion controls, comparing existing mechanisms with Google's BBR protocol, and discusses the challenges of adopting new protocols as global standards. The student provides explanations and referencing, demonstrating an understanding of network routing and switching principles, now accessible on Desklib with a wealth of study resources.
