This is from douglas comer's internetworking with tcp/ip. Since this is just for learning purposes, I expect an answer that helps me to simulate this in a local programming language/network and solve it programmatically or mathematically.
Here's the question:
Consider an ethernet that has one conventional host, H and 12 routers connected to it. Find a single(slightly illegal) frame carrying an IP packet that when sent by host H causes H to receive exactly 24 packets.
TBH I don't really understand the question.
The context is ICMP.
ping the broadcast network address?
why'd it show 24 icmp?
ping x.x.x.x -n 24
The -n switch will specify a number of packets to send.
