    The following network has 9 hosts (A-F) and 4 switches (S1-S4) marked with link numbers. Suppose that host A and D have completed DHCP and so they both know their own IP address. Also, the IP address of D is already known to A.

  1. Now, an application in Host A gives a small message to a UDP socket to deliver the message to host D. Explain which packets are sent by host A and which packets are sent by host D.
    1. Now suppose that the application in host D generates a UDP response. Explain which packets are sent by Host D and which packets are sent by Host A.
    1. Assuming all switch forwarding tables are initially empty, fill each switch's forwarding table after both operations described above are performed.
