TCP/IP
Chapter 11 Assignment

Exercises - even numbers

2. The hop count limit helps RIP instability by limiting the number of times a message can be sent through the same router, thereby limiting the back and forth updating that may occur if part of a network goes down.

4. OSPF messages are propagated immediately because a router using OSPF will immediately flood the network with news of any changes to its neighborhood. RIP messages are distributed slowly because a network using RIP relies on the periodic updates that occur every 30 seconds to carry any news from one router to the next and to the next. The process may take a lot of time.

6. Well to handle the table, one periodic timer is needed. 20 expiration timers are needed, one for each entry. And last for all, 5 garbage collection timers are needed, one for each invalid route.
