  1. Describe whether the link layer destination address in a MAC frame is the address of the gateway or the address of the final destination.
  2. (self-learning, ARP, DNS, TCP, and HTTP) Consider the topology shown here. Suppose no frames have been sent in the LAN for a long time so all tables are empty. Now suppose that the host with IP address 10.0.0.1 wants to request a web page from the Google server, where the web page can be contained in a single TCP segment. Detail which packets are sent and what the impact on the various tables for each packet. Use one worksheet for each packet or frame sent. Do this up to the third IP packet sent by the host. (Hint: save the worksheet to disk. Open the worksheet in PowerPoint. As tables are filled, copy the slide for the next packet.)
