27.
Explain what might happen if two stations are accidentally assigned the same
hardware address?
Ans:
If two stations had the same hardware address, both stations would receive packets
addressed to them, but would get confused when implementing error control or

link layer would be passing information to the higher layers which may, or may not
have been intended for the host.
28.
What is the difference between link state and distance vector routing?
Ans:
In distance routing, a router broadcasts its’ routing table to all neighbors. Each
neighbor updates its’ own routing table based on the information sent by the
neighbor taking the best route from each table. In Link State routing, each router
constructs a packet telling other routers about itself. Each router then determines
the shortest route based on its own calculated shortest path algorithm.
