It is a class B network, so for a class B network, the upper 16 bits form the network address and the lower 16 bits are subnet and host fields. Of the lower 16 bits, most significant 4 bits are 1111. This leaves 12 bits for the host number. So, 4096(2^12) host address exists. First and last address are special so the maximum number of address is 4096-2=4094.

Which algorithm makes the most efficient use ofmemory?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Best-fit Algorithm

Explanation:

Best-fit: Allocating the smallest memory location that is greater than or equal to the size of process.

<u>Example</u>

Let these are the memory locations-210kb,310kb,260kb,610kb

                    and size of processes-160kb,450kb,250kb,300kb

For the first-fit,

We allocate 160 kb to the 210kb memory location

Then, we allocate 450 kb to the 610kb because others don't have the size.

Then,we allocate 250kb to the 310 kb.

300 kb will stop,as no memory locations can execute.

For the Best-fit,

We allocate 160 kb to the 210kb memory location

Then,we allocate 450kb to the 610kb.

Then,we allocate 250kb to the  260kb not 310kb according to best-fit.

Then we allocate 300kb to the 310kb.

For the worst fit,

We allocate 160 kb to the 610kb memory location according to the worst-fit algorithm.

Then,we can't allocate 450kb to any memory location.

Then,we allocate 250kb to the 310kb .

We can' allocate 300kb in 260kb memory location.

As we can see from this example that in First-fit algorithm 300kb process will stop as no memory location is there.

In worst-fit algorithm ,We can't allocate 450kb,300kb to any memory locations.

In Best-fit algorithm,we can allocate the process to each location,so this algorithm is using memory in a efficient way.
