CS 291 - Computer Networks
Spring 1997
Assignment 4 -- Due March 3
Read Chapter 4 in the Tanenbaum text and answer the following questions.
These will reinforce and add some substance to our Tuesday discussions of this
chapter. You may turn them in either in hardcopy or by e-mail to allen@polar.
- Do problems # 9, 17, 18, 19, 22, 28, 37, and 38 on page 334 of the
text.
- Among the LANs at Bowdoin, which of the 802.3 (CSMA/CD), 802.4 (token
bus), and 802.5 (token ring) data link protocols are used? Identify the
location and purpose of at least two bridges that connect two or more LANs in
the Bowdoin network. (You may want to talk with Charles Banks in the
Computing Center to get more perspective on this question.)
