(a) Suppose a server S and client C are connected over the Internet. The one-way prop- agation delay from S to C is 50 ms. The maximum throughput between S and C is R = 200 Mbps. A browser on client C makes an HTTP request for a webpage on server S. The base HTML file is of size 500 KB and it references five objects, each of size 5 MB. Find the total response time for the client to receive the entire webpage using nonpersistent HTTP with up to two parallel connections. Assume that when two par- allel connections are active, the throughput for each connection is 40% of the maximum throughput R. (b) Suppose an application running on host ece.gmu.edu needs to resolve the domain name cs. vtech.edu. Draw a diagram (with labels) showing the sequence of queries/responses in a recursive DNS query to find the answer in a scenario where all levels of the DNS hierarchy are involved.

Write a program in C that prints the default TCP, UDP, and SCTP send and receive buffer sizes.
A frame containing http request is sent from Computer (A) [in whichever subnet it is now, make sure to show it in your figure], to the access point it is associated with. Draw the address fields (1, 2, and 3) of the frame travelling from Computer A to AP and the source and destination addresses of the frame travelling from AP to R1. The MAC addresses of AP1, AP2, and AP3 are M1, M2, and M3 respectively, and the Router R1’s MAC address connected to this Switch/AP is MRA. IP address values are already given, and the port addresses could also be used as given. The Router’s MAC address facing WAN side is MRW.
Consider sending a file of F bits over a path of Q links. Each link transmits at R bits per second (bps). The network is lightly loaded so that there are no queueing delays. When a form of packet switching is used, the F bits are broken up into packets, each packet with L bits, of which h bits of it are header. Propagation delay is negligible. Let F = 5x104, Q = 20, R = 1 Mbps, L = 1000, and h = 10. b) Suppose the network is a packet-switched datagram network and a connectionless service is used. How long does it take to send the file?

Suppose that A sends a frame to A', A’ replies to A, then B sends a message to B’ and B’ replies to B, and then A sends to B and B replies to A. In this sequence of frame transmissions, how many frames have appeared at the interface at C'? Assume that the switch's table is initially empty. [Note: You can find more examples of problems similar to this here.]

The question is to find the total bytes that are moving in the network from one host to the other and also for all the routes.

In modern packet-switched networks, including the Internet, the source host segments long, application-layer messages (for example, an image or a music file) into smaller packets and sends the packets into the network. The receiver then reassembles the packets back into the original message. We refer to this process as message segmentation. Figure 1.27 illustrates the end-to-end transport of a message with and without message segmentation. Consider a message that is 8. 106 bits long that is to be sent from source to destination in Figure 1.27. Suppose each link in the figure is 2 Mbps. Ignore propagation, queuing, and processing delays. a. Consider sending the message from source to destination without message segmentation. How long does it take to move the message from the source host to the first packet switch? Keeping in mind that each switch uses store-and-forward packet switching, what is the total time to move the message from source host to destination host? b. Now suppose that…

Consider the following scenario in which host A is sending a file to host B over a TCP connection. Assuming that the sequence number of the first data byte sent by A is 0 and every segment always includes 1000 bytes of data, excluding the TCP header. At some point of time, bytes up to 6400 have been written into the sender’s buffer. Bytes up to 4999 have been sent out but the segment which contains bytes 2000~2999 has not arrived at host B yet. At the receiver’s side, all bytes up to 3999 have been received except for bytes 2000~2999. Bytes up to 499 have been read from the buffer by the application. Assume that the maximum size of the sender’s buffer is large enough. Consider the sliding window algorithm in TCP and answer the following questions. 1) What are the values for LastByteAcked, LastByteSent, and LastByteWritten? 2) What are the values for LastByteRead, NextByteExpected, and LastByteRcvd? 3) Assuming that the maximum size of the receiver’s buffer is 4000 byte, what would…

(a) Write expressions for: (i) the mean time between packet arrivals to the queue, i.e., the average inter-arrival time; and (ii) the mean service time, i.e., the average time needed to transmit a packet onto the outgoing link.

6. Delays. A user in Madagascar, connected to the internet via a 100 Mb/s (b-bits) connection retrieves a 250 KB (B-bytes) web page from a server in Tokyo, where the page references three images of 500 KB each. Assume that the one-way propagation delay is 82 ms and that the user's access link is the bandwidth bottleneck for this connection. a. Approximately how long does it take for the page (including images) to appear on the user's screen, assuming non-persistent HTTP using a single connection at a time? (For this part, you should ignore queueing delay and transmission delays at other links in the network) How long does it take if the connection uses persistent HTTP (single connection)? b. c. Suppose that user's access router has a 4 MB buffer (B-byte) on the link from the router to the user. How much delay does this buffer add during periods when the buffer is full? d.
