Lecture Assignment 09
Due at the start of class, Monday, October 11.
Please submit answers to these questions
in Blackboard by the start of class. We will discuss these questions at

data on the wire? Which allows information to be routed to the
correct destination? Which manages higher-level "conversations"?
