computer networks

I am the Captain Now In order to motivate the next couple of algorithms that we will discuss, it is important to first explain what the routers actually do in order to send out a packet that comes in.

Everyone’s the Captain Now In the previous section, we detailed how centralized link-state algorithms, such as Dijkstra’s, can be used to find the shortest path from one node to another one.

Can You Hear Me Now? As we learning in the network and link layer, it turns out that our underlying network is actually quite shit at actually getting the message that you are sending to the destination.
