You have a computer network consisting of two hosts and five switches as shown
below. It has the following characteristics.
a) Your data consists of 8 packets.
b) Data is to be sent from host A to host B via switching network comprising five switches, X1 to X5
c) Transmission between any two devices takes one millisecond.
d) The 'time to live' flag for each packet has been set at 7 steps
Based on your understanding of packet switching and the TCP/IP protocol, trace the path for each data packet. What is the total time required for this data transmission? If packet 7 gets corrupted at its second hop during transmission, what is the revised total time required for the data transmission (assuming a copy is resent from the host)?
