Suppose there are two ISPS providing WiFi access in a particular café, with each ISP operating its own AP and having its own IP address block. A. Further suppose that by accident, each ISP has configured its AP to operate over channel 11. Will the 802.11 protocol completely break down in this situation? Discuss what happens when two stations, each associated with a different ISP, attempt to transmit at the same time. B. Now suppose that one AP operates over channel 1 and the other over channel 11. How do your answers change?

Suppose a single 802.11n client is connected to an 802.11n access point and there is no other client or access point in the neighborhood. The client senses the medium, then sends an 1,147-Byte frame, and waits for an 169-byte acknowledgement from the AP, and then repeats the process. The data rate on the wireless link is 400 Mbps. Assume DIFS=44 μs and SIFS =15 μs, no propagation delay and no error. Calculate the throughput for this client in Mbps. Calculate up to 1 decimal point.
Consider a simple protocol for transferring files over a link. After some initial negotiation, A sends data packets of size 1 KB to B; B then replies with an acknowledgment. A always waits for each ACK before sending the next data packet; this is known as stop-and-wait. Packets that are overdue are presumed lost and are retransmitted. (a) In the absence of any packet losses or duplications, explain why it is not necessary to include any "sequence number" data in the packet headers. (b) Suppose that the link can lose occasional packets, but that packets that do arrive always arrive in the order sent. Is a 2-bit sequence number (that is, N mod 4) enough for A and B to detect and resend any lost packets? Is a 1-bit sequence number enough? (c) Now suppose that the link can deliver out of order and that sometimes a packet can be delivered as much as 1 minute after subsequent packets. How does this change the sequence number requirements?
Suppose there is exactly one packet switch between a sanding host and a receiving host The transmission rates between the sending host and the switch and between the switch and the receiving host are R and Rz, respectively. Assuming that the switch uses store-and-forward packet switching, what is the total end-to-end delay to send a packet of length L? (Ignore queuing, propagation delay, and processing delay.)
Given what we know about transmission delay and the following: A web client and a web server separated by one intermediary router. • Each link carries data at 1Mbps with an MTU of 8192 bytes • Each link is 1000 km long with a propagation speed of 250000 km/s • Zero processing and queueing delays • Connection management packets (packets used for opening a connection, confirming a connection and acknowledging receipt of information) contain no data and all packets have 125 bytes of overhead on top of any data they may contain. • The web client makes an HTTP request to the server that is 250 bytes long. • The requested data is 4 kilobytes in size with 500 bytes of overhead for the HTTP status and headers What is the RTT to open the connection? а. b. How long would it take for a web client to complete the request? You can ignore any time needed to close the connection.
In this problem you will be doing some elementary calculations of transmission and propagation delays. Consider two hosts, A and B that are connected by a transmissions link of2.1 Mbps. Assume that packets are of length 2.0 Kb (Kilobits) and the length of the link is 100Km. Suppose now that that length of the link is doubled. What is the propagation delay from A to B now and what is the transmission time?
Compare GBN, SR, and TCP (no delayed ACK). Assume that the timeout values for all three protocols are sufficiently long such that 5 consecutive data segments and their corresponding ACKs can be received (if not lost in the channel) by the receiving host (Host B) and the sending host (Host A) respectively. Suppose Host A sends 5 data segments to Host B, and the 3rd segment (sent from A) is lost. In the end, all 5 data segments have been correctly received by Host B. How many segments has Host A sent in total and how many ACKs has Host B sent in total? What are their sequence numbers? Answer this question for all three protocols. The previous expert did the wrong question and the answer was incorrect. The 3rd packet is lost not the 2nd packet
Use a diagram to illustrate the four-way handshake protocol for channel reservation in IEEE 802.11 (i.e., WiFi). Please indicate the name of each frame, and also the idle period before each frame is transmitted. (Tips: the protocol used is CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS.)
A TCP message consisting of 2100 bytes is passed to IP for delivery across two networks. The first network can carry a maximum payload of 1200 bytes per frame and the second network can carry a maximum payload of 400 bytes per frame, excluding network overload. Assume that IP overhead per packet is 26 bytes. What is the total IP overhead (in bytes) in the network for this transmission?
Suppose a single 802.11n client is connected to an 802.11n access point and there is no other client or access point in the neighborhood. The client senses the medium, then sends an 1,337-Byte frame, and waits for an 132-byte acknowledgement from the AP, and then repeats the process. The data rate on the wireless link is 400 Mbps. Assume DIFS=47 μs and SIFS =11 μs, no propagation delay and no error. Calculate the throughput for this client in Mbps. Calculate up to 1 decimal point.
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 1 For all problems, assume the 802.11 DCF mechanism is used. If the 802.11n DCF basic access mechanism is used, and it takes a total of 60.6 microseconds to send a single packet (including all IFS's and control packets) with data of size 1,928 octets, what is the actual DCF data throughput (in Mbps) from the viewpoint of an 802.11n MAC user (that is to say, from the LLC layer)?
