Ethernet and ATM both specify Data Link layer framing techniques. How do they differ? a. Ethernet uses CRC fields to confirm the validity of the frame, whereas ATM uses no error detection. b. Ethernet uses variably sized packets, whereas ATM uses fixed-sized cells. c. Ethernet uses synchronous transmission, whereas ATM uses asynchronous transmission. d. Ethernet uses frame headers, whereas ATM does not. e. Ethernet offers no guarantee of timely delivery, whereas ATM ensures that packets are delivered within 10 ms

2. Ethernet frames must be at least 64 bytes long to ensure that the transmitter is still going in the event of a collision at the far end of the cable. Fast Ethernet has the same 64-byte minimum frame size but can get the bits out ten times faster. How is it possi- ble to maintain the same minimum frame size?
Calculate the latency (from first bit sent to last bit received) for the following: (a) 100-Mbps Ethernet with a single store-and-forward switch in the path and a packet size of 12,000 bits. Assume that each link introduces a propagation delay of 10 µs and that the switch begins retransmitting immediately after it has finished receiving the packet. (b) Same as (a) but with three switches. (c) Same as (a), but assume the switch implements “cut- through" switching; it is able to begin retransmitting the packet after the first 200 bits have been received.
Efficiency Principle:Ethernet V1 access protocol was designed to run at 10 Mbps over 2.5 Km using 1500 Byte packets. This same protocol needs to be used at 100 Mbps at the same efficiency (utilization). What distance can it cover if the frame size is not changed? (Note: be careful with the units.
Computer Science A 10-Mb/s Classic Ethernet transmits data packets obtained from the Network Layer. Assume for simplicity that the obtained data packets are directly placed into the MAC Ethernet frame, i.e. that no extra bytes are added in the LLC sub-layer.
Calculate the delay x bandwidth product for the following links. Use one-way delay, measured from first bit sent to first bit received. (a) 100-Mbps Ethernet with a delay of 10 μs. (b) 100-Mbps Ethernet with a single store-and-forward switch like that of Exercise 16(b), packet size of 12,000 bits, and 10 μs per link propagation delay. (c) 1.5-Mbps T1 link, with a transcontinental one-way delay of 50 ms. (d) 1.5-Mbps T1 link between two groundstations communicating via a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, 35,900 km high. The only delay is speed-of-light propagation delay from Earth to the satellite and back.
2. In the Ethernet packet, the "Data" part is used to contain data send from source to destination and vice versa. The minimum number of data bytes is 46; what if the data is less by 2 bytes
Compute the propagation delay in this case.
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?
Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server. Both the client and the server will connect to their respective workgroup switches via UTP. Their workgroup switches are connected directly by a trunk link. The two switches are 900 meters apart. They need to communicate at 800 Mbps. Your design will specify the locations of any switches and the transmission link between the switches. Then add another client next to the first client. This client will also communicate with the server and will also need 800 Mbps in transmission speed. Again, your design will specify the locations of switches and the transmission link between the switches.
What is the total delay (latency) for a frame of size 78 million bits that is being sent on a same link with 9 intermediate devices having a queuing time of 83 μs and a processing time of 93 μs? The length of the link is 2000 Km. The speed of carrier inside the link is 2.8 × 108 m/s
The Frame Check Sequence (FCS) is implemented in Ethernet using a technique known as Cylic Redundancy Check (CRC). Is it true or false?
