    The document summarizes a student's laboratory activity report. It discusses key terms like PDU, ICMP, and STP. It describes two network connection procedures using a switch: one was successful between PC0 and PC1 since they were on the same network, and one failed between PC0 and PC2 since they were on different networks. It concludes that for a successful connection, nodes must be on the same network, and a router could allow connections across networks.

    1. PDU stands for "Protocol Data Unit." A PDU is a specific block of information transferred over
    a network. It is often used in reference to the OSI model, since it describes the different types of
    data that are transferred from each layer.

    ‘PDU’ as used in the activity

    ICMP stands for Internet Control Message Protocol, which is an internet layer protocol used by
    network devices to diagnose network communication issues. ICMP is mainly used to determine
    whether or not data is reaching its intended destination in a timely manner.

    ‘ICMP’ as displayed in the activity

    The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a data link layer protocol standardized by the Institute of
    Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.1D. STP determines which machine should
    receive – and therefore respond to – each incoming signal.

    Application of ‘STP’ in the activity

    2. Network response and data flow in Procedure 4.


    In the activity, the user was tasked to send a ‘PDU’ from PC0 to PC1. The PDU represents
    the data sent from pc to pc. Since the only physical line/mode of transport in the network was that
    of the Switch, therefore the PDU sent by PC0 goes to it. After which, the message sent is delivered
    by the switch to PC1. The PC1 then after receiving the message sends back a reply, informing PC0
    that the message has been received.
    What happens in the said network is that, the switch keeps a record of the MAC addresses
    of all devices connected to it. In the case of procedure 4, PC0 requests for PDU to be sent to PC1.
    Once the switch identifies the specific MAC address of PC1 (192.168.1.11), the switch then sends
    the data to it.

    3. Network response and data flow in Procedure 4.


    The task was to send a ‘PDU’ from PC0 to PC2. However, both computer nodes were not
    able to establish a connection due ‘connection failure.’ What happened during the activity was that
    PC0 lies in network 192.168.1 whereas PC2 lies in 192.168.2 network, which is why both
    computers were not able to establish a definite connection.

    Observation/Synthesis/Generalization
    In the activity, the user was tasked to establish a network connection using a star topology.
    The switch was used to create a network with three computer nodes. The switch is an intelligent
    device which stores the MAC addresses of all the devices connected to it. This is the same reason
    why all three computer nodes were connected to it. In procedure 4, when the user was tasked to
    send a message from PC0 to PC1 through simulation, the connection was a success. This is because
    both nodes lie in the same network, specifically: 192.168.1 whereas, in procedure 6, the network
    was not able to establish a connection due to difference in network: 192.168.1 for PC0 and
    192.168.2 for PC2.

    Thus, in conclusion, in order to properly establish a connection, both nodes should lie in
    the same network. One probable solution for procedure 6 to have a successful connection would
    be to add a router device, that allows for a connection to establish between 192.168.1(PC0)
    network and an outside network: 192.168.2(PC2).
