Explanation / Answer

a)

1) Host 205.133.127.86 will send the packet directly to 205.133.127.83/84 because they are in same network.

2) Host 205.133.127.87 will send the packet directly to 205.133.127.83/84 because they are in same network.

3) 96.17.202.208 is not in the network of 205.133.127.xxx. This comes under different subnet mask.

So the host will send the packet to default gateway to broadcast the information for further transmitting it to other network and tries to retrieve the MAC address of the network.

b)

205.133.127.255 is registered for special functions like creating a gateway or to specify the new network mask.

It cannot be used by any host.
