Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 2SA
In this chapter, the rules given for calculating the factorial of a number are as follows:
If n = 0 then factorial(n) = 1
If n > 0 then factorial(n) = n × factorial(n – 1)
If you were designing a module from these rules, what would the base case be? What would the recursive case be?

What does the value of the top variable indicate in this ArrayStack implementation?
What will happen if we call pop on this stack? What value will be returned, and what changes will occur in the array and the top variable?
3. If we push the value "echo" onto the stack, where will it be stored in the array, and what will be the new value of top?
4. Explain why index 0 contains the string "alpha" even though top is currently 3.
5. What would the state of the stack look like (values in the array and value of top) after two consecutive pop 0 operations?

Suppose there are four routers between a source and a destination hosts. Ignoring fragmentation, an IP datagram sent from source to destination will travel over how many interfaces?
How many forwarding tables will be indexed to move the datagram from the source to the destination?
Please solve and show all work.
When a large datagram is fragmented into multiple smaller datagrams, where are these smaller datagrams reassembled into a single large datagram?

Consider a DASH system for which there are N video versions (at N different rates and qualities) and N audio versions (at N different rates and qualities). Suppose we want to allow the player to choose at any time any of the N video versions and any of the N audio versions. If we create files so that the audio is mixed in with its matched-rate video and the server sends only one media stream at a given time, how many files will the server need to store (each with a different URL)? If the server instead sends the audio and video streams separately and has the client synchronize the streams, how many files will the server need to store?arrow_forward
