Assume that source S and destination D are connected through two intermediate routers
labeled R. Determine how many times each packet has to visit the network layer and the
data link layer during a transmission from S to D.

A.
B.
C.
D.

Network layer 4 times and Data link layer-4 times

Network layer 4 times and Data link layer-3 times
Network layer 4 times and Data link layer-6 times
Network layer 2 times and Data link layer-6 times

Answer C

Explanation Each packet will visit network layer at S and D once and at two intermediate
nodes R, R also once, so 4 times in total. Packet will visit Data link layer at S and D once
(same as Network Layer), but in addition it will visit data link layer of routers(R, R) each
two times. Once at the beginning when packet reaches R and goes up from Physical-Data
Link-Network and second time in the reverse order while coming out of router in order
Network-Data link-Physical. Hence 6 times in total.
