c)  The packet is blocked and the packet waiting at routing switch R1 port 2 cannot be routed. 
The watchdog timers in routing switches R1 and R2 detect the packet has become blocked 
and spills data from the input port and appends an error end of packet to the output port. This 
causes the network path from routing switch R1 port 4 to routing switch R2 port 1 to be 
cleared and the next packet can be routed.
