Question

as a possible congestion control mechanism in
a subnet using virtual circuits internally, a router
could refrain from acknowledging a received
packet until (1) it knows its last transmission
along the virtual circuit was received successfully
and (2) it has a free buffer. for simplicity, assume
that the routers use a stop-and-wait protocol and
that each virtual circuit has one buffer dedicated
to it for each direction of traffic. if it takes 7 sec to
transmit a packet (data or acknowledgement) and
there are n routers on the path, what is the rate
at which packets are delivered to the destination
host? assume that transmission errors are rare
and that the host-router connection is infinitely
fast.

Consider a local area network (LAN) with multiple stations connected to the same bus using the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol for medium access control. Assume that each station has a packet to transmit and follows the CSMA/CD protocol to access the medium. The first station to sense the medium finds it idle and starts transmitting its packet. The second station also senses the medium as idle and starts transmitting its packet, but halfway through the transmission, it detects a collision with the first station’s packet. After detecting the collision, the second station follows the backoff and retransmission procedure specified by the CSMA/CD protocol. Assume that the backoff algorithm uses binary exponential backoff with a maximum number of retries of 10 and that the slot time is 512 bit times. (a) What is the minimum number of slots the second station must wait before attempting to retransmit its packet after detecting the collision? Show…
Question 2 please (a,b,c,d included)
2. Consider a slotted TDM hierarchical network in which there are 8 computers sharing a 10 Mbps channel to a router R1, sending packets to R1 which must all be forwarded by R1 over an outgoing link (called the MAN link), as shown in Figure 1. Computers A-H always have packets waiting to be sent, so no timeslot on the shared LAN is idle. Ignore the propagation delay on the LAN. The MAN link outgoing from R1 is a 100 Mbps link. The network layer protocol in use has a PDU with exactly 40 bytes of header and exactly 200 bytes of payload (SDU). The DLC layer protocol in use on the LAN has a PDU with exactly 40 bytes of header and 20 bytes of trailer. The DLC layer protocol in use on the outgoing link from R1 has a PDU with 40 bytes of header and no trailer. The physical layer does not impose any bit overhead in either channel. Use 1 Mbps = 1000000 bps. B D E F G H R1 R2 Figure 1 (a) What is the transmission delay of a bit for Computer A? (b) What is the transmission delay of a DLC PDU for…
Question 1a and 1b please
Consider a router that interconnects three subnets: Subnet 1, Subnet 2, and Subnet 3. Suppose all of the interfaces in each of these three subnets are required to have the prefix 223.10.128/24. Also suppose that Subnet 1 is required to support at least 50 interfaces, Subnet 2 is to support at least 100 interfaces, and Subnet 3 is to support at least 12 interfaces. Provide three network addresses (of the form a.b.c.d/x) that satisfy these constraints.
2. Now suppose there are two links between source and destination, with one router connecting the two links. Each link is 5,000 km long. Again suppose the MP3 file is sent as one packet. Suppose there is no congestion, so that the packet is transmitted onto the second link as soon as the router receives the entire packet. What is the end-to-end delay?
22. A datagram subnet allows routers to drop packets whenever they need to. The probability of a router discarding a packet is p. Consider the case of a source host connected to the source router, which is connected to the destination router, and then to the destination host. If either of the routers discards a packet, the source host eventually times out and tries again. If both host-router and router-router lines are counted as hops, what is the mean number of a. (a) hops a packet makes per transmission? b. (b) transmissions a packet makes? (c) hops required per received packet?
