1. A company is proposing an IPv8 format using 512 bits. Do you think this is justified? Explain.

2. It is possible to construct a system physically that is a hybrid of a message-passing multicomputer and a shared memory multiprocessor. Write a report on how this might be achieved and its relative advantages over a pure message-passing system and a pure shared memory system.
