Consider the following design problem concerning implementation of virtual-circuit service. If virtual circuits are used internal to the subnet, each data packet must have a 3-byte header and each router must tie up 8 bytes of storage for circuit identification. If datagrams are used internally, 15-byte headers are needed but no router table space is required. Transmission capacity costs 1 cent per 106 bytes, per hop. Very fast router memory can be purchased for 1 cent per byte and is depreciated over two years, assuming a 40-hour business week. The statistically average session runs for 1000 sec, in which time 200 packets are transmitted. The mean packet requires four hops. Which implementation is cheaper, and by how much?

Assume a 10Mbps Ethernet has two nodes, A and B, connected by a 360m cable with threerepeaters in between, and they each have one frame of 1,024 bits to send to each other. Further assumethat the signal propagation speed across the cable is 2*10^8 m/sec, CSMA/CD uses back-off intervals ofmultiples of 512 bits, and each repeater will insert a store-and-forward delay equivalent to 20-bittransmission time. At time t=0, both A and B attempt to transmit. After the first collision, A draws K = 0and B draws K = 1 in the exponential back-off protocol after sending the 48bits jam signal. a. What is the one-way propagation delay (including all repeater delays) between A and B inseconds? At what time is A's packet completely delivered at B? b. Now suppose that only A has a packet to send and that the repeaters are replaced with switches.Suppose that each switch has an 8-bit processing delay in addition to a store-and-forward delay.At what time, in seconds, is A's packet delivered at B?
Consider the subnet in Fig. 3.11.5. Distance vector routing is used and the following vectors have just come in to router C: from B (5, 0, 8, 12, 6, 2); from D(16, 12, 06, 0, 9, 10) and from E(7, 6, 3, 9, 0, 4). The measured delays to B, D and E are 6, 3 and 5 respectively. What is C's new routing table? Give both the outgoing line to used and the expected delay ? A B E Fig. 3.11.5 F D

We define data link layer communication efficiency as the ratio between a packet transmission time and the sum of the the packet transmission time-and twice of its, propagation time. A channel has a bit rate of 10 kbps and a propagation delay of 10,000 micro-second. For what range of frame sizes (in number of bit) does stop-and-wait give an efficiency of at most 60%?

Consider a TCP connection with the following parameters: a) Initial ssthreshold = 4 segmentsb) Round Trip Time (RTT) = 10 millisecondsc) Timeout period = 40 millisecondsd) Segment size = 3900 bytesThe TCP connection was used to transfer 17 data segments. While sendingthe segments, data segment 7 and data segment 15 were lost the first timethey were sent (but arrived at the receiver properly when retransmitted).There were no other segment losses apart from the aforementioned. Assumethat data segments received out-of-order are buffered at the receiver. Whatis the average throughput obtained in sending all the data segments (inbytes/sec) including draw a diagram to show the communication process in detail.

Consider a full-duplex 512 kbps link with length 36,000Km connecting two hosts. The data frames carry a useful payload of size 6000 bits. Assume that both ACK and data frames have 400 bits of header information, and that ACK frames carry no data. The propagation speed along this link is 3×108 m/sec. a) What is the RTT on this link? b) What is the effective useful data throughput, in kbps, when using Stop-and-Wait?
A TCP connection is established through 10 wireless hops in an acoustic underwater ad hoc network. Assume that each hop is 100 meter in the average, acoustic signals travel 1500 meter per second, 10 kilobit data can be sent per second over a link, the source node has one megabyte of data to send, the receiver window size is 64 kilobytes, the maximum segment size is 1 kilobyte and the average processing delay for routing at each node is one millisecond. Assume also that the following segments do not reach the destination: 67, 112, 137. What would be the average utilization of the links for this connection if there is not another communications through them? Explain an alternative approach to increase the bandwidth utilization?
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.
