Assignment - Construct a Routing Table

A young hotshot gets rich and makes a billion on a networking company. He has a spacious mansion built by a designer where he can invite all his buddies as guests. It's so big that until you get your bearings, you can get lost. To help guests get their bearings the hotshot decides to do what only comes naturally to him. He decides to construct a routing table for the mansion. Printed copies of the mansion's routing table will then be distributed to every guest, along with the champagne and fruitbowl, upon arrival. Our hotshot used to construct routing tables himself. But now that he's wealthy, he hires these jobs out.

And you've been hired.

Please construct a routing table for this place. In it, correspond the various facility destinations offered by the mansion on the one hand, with the door, portal, passage, gateway, archway, or other interface that leads to each, on the other hand. (Correspond them, as routing tables do, by making a column for the destinations and a matching column for their matching doors.) Your routing table should cover the following facilities, indicating which door or passage to use for each:

Airport
Courts
Driveway
Fountain
Golf Course
Hospital
Patio
Police Station
Riding Stable

Include:

1) a single line-entry in the table for each of the above-listed facilities that is found on the mansion's premises as depicted on the map.

2) a SINGLE additional line-entry collectively representing ALL the above facilities that are NOT accounted for on the map. Refer to those facilities as a group with the word "default" and indicate the corresponding door, portal, passage, gateway, archway, or other interface that pertains to them. Thus, if there were 4 items in the above list that aren't on the map the number of line-entries in the route table to represent them would be 1 not 4; if there are 2 such items, the number of line-entries for them would be 1 not 2.

So the total number of line-entries in your route table should be a) 1 for every item on the list that DOES appear on the map, plus b) one more for all those that DO NOT

From inside the mansion a guest who knows the location of all the doors and none of the facilities will use this table, if told to go to a facility, to select the right door for it. (The mansion is a computer; guests are outbound packets; doors are interfaces; facilities are remote computers. )

Turn in your table on paper in class.
