,Quiz: 2 key router functions
Ans: run routing protocols, forward datagrams
Quiz: routing architecture
Ans: routing processor (compute forwarding tables, routing, management
control plane, done in software), high-speed switching fabric (forwarding
data plane, done in hardware)
Quiz: Input ports
Ans: line termination (physical layer); link layer protocol to receive; lookup,
forwarding, queueing
Quiz: decentralized switching
Ans: given datagram destination, lookup output port using forwarding table
in input port memory. Complete input port processing at line speed. Queuing
if datagrams arrive faster than forward rate into switch fabric
