TDTS11: Questions for Assignment 3

In addition to the general tasks A-C associated with this assignment, you are also expected to answer the following questions.

Vinton Cerf is recognized as one of the fathers of the Internet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Cerf). I expect you to read the interviews in the text book of him and Leonard Kleinrock.
  1. Please write a paragraph that explains the relationship between the contributions made by Kleinrock and Cerf with regards to the current Internet. (To verify your claims/assumptions you may also want to use google scholar, for example, to have a look at some of their works.)
  2. Use the appropriate RFCs to answer how much bigger/smaller the IPv4 header is compared to the IPv6 header. Please explain the main differences in your own words.
These questions may require additional reading, thinking, and exploration.
