If distances are recorded as 4-bit numbers in a 500-router network, and distance vectors are exchanged 3 times/second, how much total bandwidth (in bps) is used by the distributed routing algorithm? assume that each router has 2 lines to other routers.

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.

so…overall none of the computers get the data as the original message or picture being sent by the server cannot be retrieved with only half the packets. so it will show up as an error.

thus the final answer is d.
