    [10 marks] Question 01: What is the difference between a recursive DNS resolver and an iterative
    resolver?

    Answer:
    Recursive DNS resolver handles the entire process of resolving a domain and getting the IP address. In
    contract, the clint in the iterative DNS resolver need to send a request to the and if does not exist in that server,
    the server will send an IP address to the clint to check higher level until the clint find it.

    [15 marks] Question 02: Construct an inverted tree representing the DNS database for the following
    given domain names:
    1. ics.kfupm.edu.sa

    and file C from Site II. Suppose you want to additionally display the handshake messages exchanged
    between the client and each server when the client maintains a non-persistent connection with both
    servers. Draw the figure with request-response messages along with handshake messages between
    the client and the servers.

    same network diagram and show the data frame with address information (in each hop) when
    Node2 sends data to Node1.
