Question: 1. Briefly explain the following terms and concepts: a. Maximum Transfer Size (MTU) b. Longest Prefix Matching c. CIDR and Subnet Mask d. Switching Fabric
1. Briefly explain the following terms and concepts:
a. Maximum Transfer Size (MTU)
b. Longest Prefix Matching
c. CIDR and Subnet Mask
d. Switching Fabric
e. Difference between forwarding and routing
2. Considering the following figure as a schematic view of some parts of a network. Also, assume that the datagram X of size 5,000 bytes has just arrived at router C with the destination IP of 116.24.123.324.

a. Assuming that router C forwards X to router B and the following table summarizes the forwarding table of router B, at which link interface, X (or its fragments) is (are) forwarded by router B? Why?
| Destination Address | Link Interface |
| 116.23.8.0/21 | O1 |
| 116.24.96.0/19 | O2 |
| 116.24.64.0/18 | O3 |
| otherwise | O1 |
b. Assuming that router C forwards X to router B and router B decides to forward the datagram toward router A, explain how X is is fragmented at router B before getting forwarded. Also, specify the length of each fragment assuming that IP header is 20 bytes long.
