1.Given that there are 5 nodes in a LAN and a connection between each pair of nodes is
$10. Based solely on the price of connections, how much would a full mesh topology
cost?
2.Given that there are 5 nodes in a LAN and a connection between each pair of nodes is
$10, how much would a ring topology cost?
3.If the 8-port 10BaseT hub is replaced by an 8-port 10BaseT switch, how many
pairs of PCs, in the 6-PCs LAN, can be communicating with each other through
that 8-port 10BaseT switch at a time, under the most ideal condition?
4.How many pairs of PCs, in the 6-PCs LAN, can be communicating with each
other through that 8-port 10BaseT hub at any one time?
5.State a topology that would be cheaper than the ring topology. How much would this
topology cost using the same $10 per connection for each pair of nodes, based on 5
nodes in the LAN?
