CST 311 - Module 5

This week we began our foray into the Network layer. It was very interesting to cover the difference between routing and forwarding and seeing how a router accomplishes its forwarding process. I found Longest Prefix matching to be quite interesting and it was fun to work in binary for a few of the questions this week. I found it somewhat surprising that it only took 20 jumps with the traceroute to reach the school in India. The lab this week was also quite fun and it was interesting to see the DHCP process in action.
