Consider sending a large file of F bits from Host A to Host B. There are three links (and two switches) between A and B, and the links are uncongested (that is, no queuing delays). Host A segments the file into segments of S bits each and adds 80 bits of header to each segment, forming packets of L=80+ S bits. Each link has a transmission rate of R bps. Find the value of S that minimizes the delay of moving the file from Host A to Host B. Disregard propagation delay.

A packet switch receives a packet and determines the outbound link to which the packet should be forwarded. When the packet arrives, one other packet is halfway done being transmitted on this outbound link and four other packets are waiting to be transmitted. Packets are transmitted in order of arrival. Suppose all packets are 1,500 bytes and the link rate is 2 Mbps. What is the queuing delay for the packet? More generally, what is the queuing delay when all packets have length L, the transmission rate is R, x bits of the currently-being-transmitted packet have been transmitted, and n packets are already in the queue?
TCP a. Consider two TCP connections, one between Hosts A (sender) and B (receiver), and another between Hosts C (sender) and D (receiver). The RTT between A and B is half that of the RTT between C and D. Suppose that the senders' (A's and C's) congestion window sizes are identical. Is their throughput (number of segments transmitted per second) the same? Explain. b. Now suppose that the average RTT between A and B, and C and D are identical. The RTT between A and B is constant (never varies), but the RTT between C and D varies considerably. Will the TCP timer values of the two connections differ, and if so, how are they different, and why are they different? Give one reason why TCP uses a three-way (SYN, SYNACK, ACK) handshake rather than a two-way handshake to initiate a connection. a.
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. c. Suppose the network is a packet-switched virtual circuit network. Denote the VC set-up time by ts = 250 milliseconds. How long does it take to send the file from source to destination?
Consider a router buffer preceding an outbound link. In this problem, you will use Little’s formula, a famous formula from queuing theory. Let N denote the average number of packets in the buffer plus the packet being transmitted. Let a denote the rate of packets arriving at the link. Let d denote the average total delay (i.e., the queuing delay plus the transmission delay) experienced by a packet. Little’s formula is N=a⋅d . Suppose that on average, the buffer contains 10 packets, and the average packet queuing delay is 10 msec. The link’s transmission rate is 100 packets/sec. Using Little’s formula, what is the average packet arrival rate, assuming there is no packet loss?
Consider two hosts Pand Q connected through a router R. The maximum transfer unit (MTU) value of the link between Pand Ris 1500 bytes, and between Rand Qis 820 bytes. A TCP segment of size 1400 bytes was transferred from P to Q through R, with IP identification value as Ox1234. Assume that the IP header size is 20 bytes. Further, the packet is allowed to be fragmented, i.e., Don't Fragment (DF) flag in the IP header is not set by P. Which of the following statements is/are correct? (a) Two fragments are created at R and the IP datagram size carrying the second fragment is 620 bytes. (b) If the second fragment is lost, P is required to resend the whole TCP segment. (c) TCP destination port can be determined by analysing only the second fragment. (d) If the second fragment is lost, R will resend the fragment with the IP identification value Ox1234
Consider sending a large file of F bits from Host A to Host B. There are three links (and two switches) between A and B, and the links are uncongested (that is, no queuing delays). Host A segments the file into segments of S bits each and adds 80 bits of header to each segment, forming packets of L=80+ S bits. Each link has a transmission rate of R bps. Find the value of S that minimizes the delay of moving the file from Host A to Host B. Disregard propagation delay.
1. Consider a path from host A to host B through a router X as follows: A- -X-B The capacity of the link AX is denoted Ra, while the capacity of the link XB is denoted Rb in units of [bits/s]. Assume that Ra Ri. Is it possible that the second packet queues at input queue of the second link? Explain. Now suppose that host A sends the second packet T seconds after sending the first packet. How large must T be to ensure no queueing before the second link? Explain.
Suppose station X sends a message with 15 packets to station B using sliding window of size 4, selective repeat in used and every 5th packet is lost, number of transmission required to send all 15 packets to Y.
a. Suppose N packets arrive simultaneously to a link at which no packets are currently being transmitted or queued. Each packet is of length L and the link has transmission rate R. What is the average queuing delay for the N packets? b. Now suppose that N such packets arrive to the link every LN/R seconds. What is the average queuing delay of a packet?
Consider sending a 3500-byte datagram that has arrived at a router R₁ that needs to be sent over a link that has an MTU size of 1000 bytes to R2. Then it has to traverse a link with an MTU of 600 bytes. Let the identification number of the original datagram be 465. How many fragments are delivered at the destination? Show the parameters associated with each of these fragments.
Computer A is sending a 100 kByte long file to Computer B via packet-switching over two consecutive 10 Mbps links of 1000 km length each.Assume that the signal propagation speed on both links is 2.5 x 108 m/s.Furthermore, assume that the maximum length of a packet is 1500 bytes and that Computer A fills each packet to the max, if possible. How "long" (in meters) is one bit on link 1?
hdet b) Consider sending a packet contains 1100 bits from Host A to Host B in a store and forward nerwork. There are 10 links (and 9 routers) between A and B, and the links are congested (there Is a queuing delays). Assume propagation delay over the links are negligible. As a packet travels along the route, it encounters an average of 5 packets already waiting in the queue to be transmitted when it arrives at each router, How long does it take for the packet to get to the receiver if the nodes transmit on a "first come first served" basis (in ms)?
