TCP a. Consider two TCP connections, one between Hosts A (sender) and B (receiver), and another between Hosts C (sender) and D (receiver). The RTT between A and B is half that of the RTT between C and D. Suppose that the senders' (A's and C's) congestion window sizes are identical. Is their throughput (number of segments transmitted per second) the same? Explain. b. Now suppose that the average RTT between A and B, and C and D are identical. The RTT between A and B is constant (never varies), but the RTT between C and D varies considerably. Will the TCP timer values of the two connections differ, and if so, how are they different, and why are they different? a. Give one reason why TCP uses a three-way (SYN, SYNACK, ACK) handshake rather than a two-way handshake to initiate a connection.

TCP session sends 50 packets per second over an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). Each packet consists 2280B (excluding the preamble and cyclic redundancy check (CRC)). Calculate the size of the headers, and hence the TCP payload data. What therefore is the TCP throughput of the session?
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
Consider a client has established TCP connection with a server and sending data. The propagation delay is 5 ms and there are no timeouts and errors during transmission. The size of the receiver advertised window is 128 KB, the slow-start threshold at the client is 64 KB, and the maximum segment size is 4 KB. The connection is established at time T = 10 ms. What is the size of the congestion window (in KB) at time 90 ms after all acknowledgements are processed?
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.
1. What is the difference between packet fragmentation (i.e., at network layer) and frame frag- mentation (i.e., at link layer) in terms of purpose? 2. Suppose that host A is connected to a router R1, R1 is connected to another router, R2, and R2 is connected to host B. Suppose that a TCP message that contains 800 bytes of data and 20 bytes of TCP header is passed to the IP function at host A for delivery to B. Show the Total length, DF, MF, and Fragment offset fields of the IP header in each packet transmitted over the three links. (Assume that link A-R1 can support a maximum frame size of 1024 bytes including a 14-byte frame header, link R1-R2 can support a maximum frame size of 512 bytes, including an 8-byte frame header, and link R2-B can support a maximum frame size of 432 bytes including a 12-byte frame header.)

Question 1a and 1b please
A 3200 bit long TCP message is transmitted to the IP layer and becomes a datagram after adding a 160 bit header. The following Internet is connected by two LANs through routers. But the data part of the longest data frame that the second LAN can transmit is only 1200 bits. Therefore, datagrams must be segmented in the router. How many bits of data does the second LAN transmit to its upper layer?
