Exercise 2.3.4
It would take one messages to get from A to D, and it would take the same to send from D to A. and the added wouldn’t have no initial effect on the network.
Exercise 2.3.5
From A to B it would take two message. The central hub would take two messages to get from A to B, when using the switch it would take one message from A to B. there would be very little effect when adding a node between C and D because it is connected to a central devices like A and B.
Exercise 2.3.6
It would only take one instant message from straight from A to D, and the same for A to B, and
