part 1: List down the services provided by the data link layer
part 1:
List down the services provided by the data link layer.
part 2:
Suppose there are 4 nodes sharing a broadcast channel using TDMA protocol. Suppose at time t=0:
Node 1 has three frames to transmit,
Node 2 has two frames to transmit,
Node 3 has no frame,
Node 4 has four frames to transmit.
The length of time slot is 2 seconds whereas time needed to transmit one frame is 1 second. Explain how TDMA will work and how much time will be taken to transmit all of these frames?
part 3:
Do we need to use multiple access protocol in following cases?
- Lab computers connected to a layer 2 switch through Ethernet cables (star topology)
- Two computers in an Ethernet bus topology
- Your laptop is connected to BIIT network through a WiFi link
Answer, yes or no and then justify your answer. Also, mention the name of the multiple access protocol if your answer is yes.
part 4:
Explain the difference between ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA, which one performs better and why?
part 5
What do we mean by bit time while computing Ethernet (CSMA/CD) backoff time?
part 6:
Suppose there is a shared link (e.g. Ethernet bus) of 1 Mbps. How much time is needed (in microseconds) to transmit a 1000 bits long frame on this link?
Suppose value of K is 1 (Ethernet CSMA/CD), compute backoff time when link capacity (data rate) is:
- 10 kbps
- 100 kbps
