Consider the network shown below. Suppose AS3 and AS2 are running RIP for their intra-AS routing
protocol. Suppose AS1 and AS4 are running OSPF for their intra-AS routing protocol. Suppose eBGP
and iBGP are used for the inter-AS routing protocol. Initially suppose there is no physical link between
AS2 and AS4.
a. Router 3c learns about prefix x from which routing protocol: OSPF, RIP, eBGP, or iBGP?
b. Router 3a learns about x from which routing protocol?
c. Router 1c learns about x from which routing protocol?
d. Router 1d learns about x from which routing protocol?
e. Once router 1d learns about x it will put an entry (x,l) in its forwarding table. Will I be equal to I1 or
I2 for this entry? Explain why in one sentence.
f. Now suppose that there is a physical link between AS2 and AS4, shown by the dotted line. Suppose
router 1d learns that x is accessible via AS2 as well as via AS3. Will I be set to I1 or I2? Explain why in
one sentence.
g. Now suppose there is another AS, called AS5, which lies on the path between AS2 and AS4(not
shown in the figure). Suppose router 1d learns that x is accessible via AS2 AS5 AS4 as well as via AS3
AS4. Will I be set to I1 or I2? Explain why in one sentence.
Consider the network shown below. Suppose AS 3
