A web server runs on a computer with the domain name eagle-serve.example.co.uk. A browser
accesses a page with a URL http://eagle-server.example.co.uk/index.html. The browser host, DNS
host and web server host are connected to the same Ethernet LAN segment. Give an account of the
events that take place as the browser requests the page. Relate your account to port numbers and
addressing described in any relevant layers of the OSI model. Assume all caches are empty.

Principle 1: "Every router makes its decision alone, based on the
information it has in its own routing table.“
Principle 2: "The fact that one router has certain information in its routing table does not mean that other routers have the same information.“
Principle 3: "Routing information about a path from one network to another does not provide
routing information about the reverse, or return path."
