IP address!

How to write the output message.

Host 138.128.2.4 on network 138.128.2.0/24 wants to send a packet to host
138.128.129.12 on network 138.128.129.0/24. Assume that:
� Host 138.128.2.4 has a default route through 138.128.2.1
� Host 138.128.2.4 has just booted and has not sent or received any packets.
� All other machines on the network have been running for long time.
� Router 138.128.2.1 has a direct link to 138.128.129.1, which is the gateway
for the 138.128.129.0/24 subnet.

  1. List all the steps that are needed to send the packet. Show the source and
    destination Ethernet and IP addresses of all packet transmitted.
  2. If the network were 138.128.0.0/16, would your answer change? How?
  3. If the 138.128.2.0 network were a /26 network instead of a /24, would your answer change? How?

1) I know you are not allowed to post such questions here. Why?

2) If you read the rules you'd know. Why?

3) Because it is not the purpose of these forums to do your homework assignment for you.

Why do you think this is so?
