These components can adopt protocols such as tail drop and random early detection to avert network congestion. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these components which forward data packets through networks. In homes, they’re often paired with a modem to access the Internet.
ANSWER: routers
[10m] NAT is used to modify one of these values in the header of a packet as it passes through a router. Every computer uses 127.0.0.1 [127 dot 0 dot 0 dot 1] as its own “loopback” one of these values.
ANSWER: IP addresses [or Internet Protocol addresses; prompt on loopback addresses]
[10h] The Routing Information Protocol uses this algorithm and hop count to route packets based on distance. This algorithm finds the single-source shortest path for a graph with negative edge weights, unlike Dijkstra’s algorithm.
ANSWER: Bellman-Ford algorithm
