Why is it important for a router to have a metric for determining an optimal route? would it be workable to run a network without metrics?

Is one of the most injurious events that can happen to a person in a crash.

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a,b,c,d sharing the medium. (a) stations a,b,c,d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful.when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?

Consider the following code snippet: #ifndef cashregister_h#define cashregister_hconst double max_balance = 6000000.0; class cashregister{public: cashregister(); cashregister(double new_balance); void set_balance(double new_balance); double get_balance() const; private: double balance[12]; }; double get_monthly_balance(cashregister bk, int month); #endifwhich of the following is correct? a)the header file is correct as given.b)the definition of max_balance should be removed since header files should not contain constants.c)the definition of cashregister should be removed since header files should not contain class definitions.d)the body of the get_monthly_balance function should be added to the header file.
