Suppose you work in a company, and you need to move 40 Terabytes worth of data from one datacenter to a different center on a different power grid. The network is under maintenance and the available bandwidth for this project is 100 Mbps only for the next 90 days. The data is needed as soon as possible. Are we able to transfer the data over the network within a reasonable amount of time or should we ship the data disks by mail to the new datacenter? Support your answer with numbers.

What is the efficiency if a 100-byte file is transmitted using Ethernet? A 10,000-byte file?
Imagine that you have trained your St. Bernard, Bernie, to carry a box of three 8-mmtapes instead of a flask of brandy. (When your disk fills up, you consider that anemergency.) These tapes each contain 7 gigabytes. The dog can travel to your side,wherever you may be, at 18 km/hour. For what range of distances does Bernie have ahigher data rate than a transmission line whose data rate (excluding overhead) is 150Mbps? How does your answer change if (i) Bernie’s speed is doubled; (ii) each tapecapacity is doubled; (iii) the data rate of the transmission line is doubled.
Computer A uses the Go-back-N ARQ protocol to send a 110 Mbytes file to computer B with a window size of 15. Given each frame carries 100K bytes data. How long does it take to send the whole file (the total time taken from A sending the first bit of the file until A receiving the last acknowledgment)? Given that the transmission rate of the link is 500 Mbps and the propagation time between A and B is 15ms. Assume no data or control frame is lost or damaged and ignore the overhead due to header and trailer.
Suppose a switch is built using a computer workstation and that it can forward packets at a rate of 500,000 packets per second, regardless (within limits) of size. Assume the workstation uses direct memory access (DMA) to move data in and out of its main memory, which has a bandwidth of 2 Gbps, and that the I/O bus has a bandwidth of 1 Gbps. At what packet size would the bus bandwidth become the limiting factor?
Assume that there is a shared connection (for example, an Ethernet bus) with a speed of 1 Mbps. How much time (in microseconds) is required to send a frame with a length of 1000 bits over this link?
Assume that you have joined for a company in Oman which works on computer data storage devices. A customer comes with a requirement and ask you to provide the design requirement as mentioned below A 900 Mbyte CD is used to store PCM voice data. Suppose that a CT voice signal is sampled at 10 samples/s, and each sample is encoded into a 16-bit. How many minutes of the voce signal can be stored (as PCM data) in this CD disk?
Old-Tech Corporation has 10 computers in its main office area, which is networked in a star topology using 10 Mbps Ethernet hubs, and wants to add five computers in the manufacturing area. One problem with the existing network is data throughput. Large files are transferred across the network regularly, and the transfers take quite a while. In addition, when two or more computers are transferring large files, the network becomes unbearably slow for users. Adding the manufacturing computers will only make this problem worse and result in another problem. Because the ceiling is more than 30 feet high, there is no easy way to run cables to computers, and providing a secure pathway for cables is next to impossible. .(from: Greg Tosho,Ed Tittel, David Johnson.

Q: What is principal of locality, for example if Level-1 can be accessed in 0.1 microseconds and Level-2 in 1 microsecond how we can access 1000 bytes in short time.
The term synchronization has many meanings in Computer Science. Within the networking field, the term is usually used to describe making asynchronous communication synchronous (A coordination of activities; running at the same rate) We see synchronization occurring in different layers, but we are mostly concerned with the physical layer and the data link layer (L1 and L2). a) In what ways is synchronization in these two layers similar? b) In what ways is synchronization in these two layers dissimilar?
What impact does the choice of serialization format have on the size of the serialized data, especially in bandwidth-constrained environments?
