What type of routing does a TCP/IP client use? What type of routing does a TCP/IP gateway use? Explain.
What is the transmission efficiency of a 10-byte Web request sent using HTTP, TCP/IP, and Ethernet?Assume that the HTTP packet has 100 bytes in addition to the 10-byte URL. Hint: Remember from Chapter 4 that efficiency = user data/total transmission size.
