Question

Create a network of 7 interconnected nodes, and simulate a broadcast packet transmission from one node and observe how packets propagate through the network. Compare the number of transmissions with a manually constructed logical spanning tree, and comment on the reduction in redundant transmissions.

A network of seven interconnected nodes can be represented as (N={A,B,C,D,E,F,G}). Consider the following undirected network topology, where each connection represents a communication link: (A-B,\ A-C,\ B-C,\ B-D,\ C-E,\ D-E,\ D-F,\ E-F,\ E-G,\ F-G). This topology contains several alternative paths between nodes, which makes it suitable for observing redundant transmissions during broadcasting. Suppose node A generates a broadcast packet that must reach all other six nodes. In a simple flooding-based broadcast mechanism, node A first sends the packet to its direct neighbours B and C. Thus, the first transmissions are (A\rightarrow B) and (A\rightarrow C). When B receives the packet, it forwards it to its neighbours C and D. Similarly, C forwards it to B and E. Consequently, C receives the same packet from both A and B, while B receives it from both A and C.
