Here's the question bank on all the computer networks topics.
Assume that source S and destination D are connected through two intermediate routers labeled R. Determine how many times each packet has to visit the network layer and the data link layer during a transmission from S to D.
Answer: Option 3Concept: The Routers only contains 3 layer that's the reason sometimes they also called as 3-layer switch.The Router is a physical or virtual internetworking device that is designed to receive, analyze, and forward data packets between computer networks. A router examines a destination IP address of a given data packet, and it uses the headers and forwarding tables to decide the best way to transfer the packets.Explanation: At Intermediate Router R the packet will not go beyond the network layer. Hence Network layer will only be visited once at both the routers.But the Data link layer will be visited twice.Hence Network layer will be visited 4 times and the Data link layer will be visited 6 times (1 + 2 (at R) + 2 (at R) + 1 = 6 )
