Computer Networking

(a) Explain what can be done by an Autonomous System(AS) to prevent insecure traffic from entering its domain from other AS.
I know that an AS is a collection of hosts/servers under administration control and it may contains multiples LANs.

(b) Traffic shaping can be performed on a "per connection" OR on a "per host basis". Give one concrete example where you would want to use it on a "per connection" basis and one example for the "per host basis".

(c) Explain how a domain could protect traffic from customers which exceed their specified flow specification.

PLEASE HELP ME.

Homework?

You'll never learn if others give you the easy answer.

You've got the right idea, just think about it a little.

hi ScottMAc.... Well, these questions are not for homework. They appeared for my test and I want to know the answers since I was unable to answer 'em.

Please help me.

How did you answer 'em on the test?
Tell us your understanding and we can tell you where you went off-track.

Answers
(a) By placing Area Border Routers on each area.

(b) "per connection" is for point to point network.

(c) By enforcing a flow control.

NOT SURE OF THE ANSWers.

Boyka: Not correct on any of your answers (C is almost right ... probably wrong term); re-read the questions.

Hey man.... just tell me the answers straightforward. I told you I don't know.
