Question: [ Analytical Question ] Assume we have a VL 2 implementation in our DCN . ( 1 ) Using location address ( LA ) space

[Analytical Question] Assume we have a VL2 implementation in our DCN.
(1) Using location address (LA) space 20.20.0.0/16, and application address (AA) space 15.15.0.0/16 provide example address assignments for applications X and Y, and all relevant TOR interfaces for two example TOR switches A and B, and two intermediate switches we name IS1 and IS2.(2 points)
(2) Using the IP addresses you have chosen, explain in detail how the Directory Service helps in sending packets from application X to application Y.(0.5 points)
(3) Using the IP addresses you have chosen, explain the implications of changing application Y's location. (0.5 points)
(4) Using the details discussed in your example, discuss the benefits and shortcomings of a Layer 2 versus Layer 3 implementation of a DCN, and compare that with what is achieved in VL2.(1 points)
