Functions of OSI and TCP/IP Layers Q.43

Consider a network with 6 routers R1 to R6 connected with links having weights as shown in the following diagram.

functions of osi

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : Following two links are unused
    R1 – R2
    R4 – R6
    According to the question updated the value of
    R1 – R2 and R4 – R6 to 2.
    Now apply Distance vector routing algorithm
    Hence, R1 (2, 3, 9, 10, 11)
    Links used: R1 – R2, R1 – R3, R2 – R4, R4 – R5,
    R4 – R6
    R2 (2, 7, 8, 9)
    Links used: R2 – R3, R2 – R4, R4 – R5, R4 – R6
    R3 (9, 9, 11)
    Links used: R3 – R2, R2 – R4, R3 – R5, R4 – R6
    R4 (1, 2)
    Links used: R4 – R5, R4 – R6
    R5 (3)
    Links Used: R5 – R4, R4 – R6
    As we can see all links are used except R5-R6.
