What else can I help you with?
What is the protocol responsible for locating a host on a local network?
ARP
What is responsible for discovering the internet address of a host on the local network?
RARP
How does ANDing help an originating host?
An originating host must determine if a packet should be sent directly to a host in the local network or be directed to the gateway.
Why do routers use anding?
ANDing is used by a router, to see if the host which has to be contacted, is on the local network of the router, or a remote network.
What do network host use data link layer addresses for?
Local delivery
The local host can send packets on the local network?
The localhost address is designed to verify that the software for networking has been installed and is operating correctly. It does not pass any packets to the network.
What does the local host use to determine the destination network ID of a particular packet?
the address Class
When DNS is installed on a server what service can DNS perform for users of client computers accessing network resources?
DNS stands for Domain naming system. it basicly translate ip address to host names and host names to ip address. If you use it on a local network it allows you to use your own naming conventions for your local subnet . Which helps to work easily in huge network need to remember only host names in network.
When a host on network A sends a message to a host on network B which address does the router look at?
When a host on network A sends a message to a host on network B, the router looks at the destination IP address in the packet’s header to determine where to forward the message. This IP address is used to identify the specific network and host within that network. The router uses its routing table to decide the best path for the packet based on this destination IP address. The MAC address is not used for routing between different networks, as it only applies to the local network segment.
Do packets that are sent to host on the same local network need to be translated?

What pieces of information are required for a host to access resources on the local network?
To access resources on a local network, a host requires its own IP address to identify itself, a subnet mask to determine the network's range, and the default gateway's IP address to route traffic to other networks. Additionally, the host may need the DNS server address for domain name resolution. These elements enable proper communication within the network and with external resources.
What characteristic describes the default gateway of a host computer?
The default gateway of a host computer is typically the IP address of a router that connects the local network to external networks, such as the internet. It serves as the forwarding host for packets that are destined for addresses outside the local subnet. The default gateway enables communication between devices on different networks and is essential for routing traffic beyond the local area network (LAN).
