Question 3

Why is an ARP request broadcast? Why is an ARP reply unicast? 为什么ARP请求采用广播方式？为什么ARP应答采用单播方式？

Answer：Because the user who uses ARP request dose not know the other’s MAC address, so it is necessary for broadcast to find out where he is. However, the user who gives an ARP reply is bound to know the other’s address which is include in ARP request packet.

Question 23 Single-Choice

An HLEN value of decimal 10 means _. HLEN的值是十进制10，意味着.
A. option字段的长度是10个字节 B. option字段的长度是40个字节
C. 报头字段的长度是10个字节 D. 报头字段的长度是40个字节

Answer：D. 报头字段的长度是40个字节

Question 47 Exercise

Calculate the HLEN value if the total length is 1200 bytes, 1176 of which is data from the upper layer.

如果总长度是1200字节，其中1176个字节是来自上层的数据，问HLEN字段的值是多少？

Answer： HLEN = (1200-1176)bytes/4=24bytes/4 = 6 = 6H = 0110B
