2. Consider a set of intersecting rings as in the following figure. Here, a small square represents a node, including nodes that can transfer packets between rings, and each ring has an arrow that indicates the direction of packet flow on that ring. Each ring is labeled by a lower case Greek letter with the first ring labeled α .
2.1. Display the adjacency matrix for the network in the figure.
2.2. Which, if any, nodes are equivalent on the network and why? (Hint: recall that equivalence in this context has to do with the number of links to a node as well as the information flow directions to and from a node.)
2.3. Which nodes, if any, represent single points of failure of the network?
2.4. Display the weight matrix for the network.
2.5. Using the Bellman-Ford algorithm, calculate a route from node S to node D on the network as displayed in Fig. 1. Show each step of the algorithm as you develop the route.

12 2 5 Figure 1: A set of intersecting rings 3. [20 points] Again refer to the above figure. Label each approximately at its center from| the set {α, β, δ, γ,e). Each ring represents an autonomous system (AS 3.1. What is meant by the term autonomous sytem? 3.2. For the entire network from S to D, are there any single points of failure? If so, identify each both by the AS and the node number. 3.3. Which nodes correspond...
