Tasks
The major task is to allocate the unreserved public IPv4 addresses to different states in Australia
based on the number of Internet users in those states. The number of Internet users for each state
is given below:
New South Wales (NSW) : 6 Million
Victoria (VIC) : 4 Million
Queensland (QLD) : 3 Million
Western Australia (WA) : 2 Million
South Australia (SA) : 1 Million
Tasmania (TAS) : 300 Thousand
Northern Territory (NT) : 150 Thousand
The task needs to be completed based on the following constraints and assumptions:
? Only unreserved public IPv4 addresses should be used for allocation.
? Each state should have a unique set of addresses – no address or set of addresses can be
reassigned to any other state.
? You should use only the classless IPv4 addressing in the assignment.
? The number of allocated addresses for each state should not exceed by 20% of the specified
Internet users for that particular state. For instance, the assigned addresses for Tasmania
should not exceed 360 Thousand addresses.
? It is allowed to use one or more subnets to achieve the number of required address for a
given state.
The minor task is to create a routing table for edge routers only for the state NT, WA and SA.
The task needs to be completed based on the following constraints and assumptions:
? The routing table should be minimal with no redundant routes in the table.
? Any packets from the source (NT or WA or SA) should take the minimal route to reach the
destination (NT or WA or SA).
? Identify the Network Interface Card address to connect NT, WA and SA.
