a.

Program Plan Intro

Circuit-switched network:

Circuit switched network is a process in which network nodes communicates with dedicated channel or circuit over the network. The data is divided into packets and transmitted over the network on requirement.

b.

Program Plan Intro

Packet-switched network:

Packet switched network is a process of aggregating the data packets to a single packet or device over the digital network. The data packets have a header which defines about the hardware used and a payload which is used in software applications.

Consider two nodes (A, B) sharing the same broadcast channel of speed R =10Mbps. The propagation delay between the two nodes is 1ms. Consider a node C in the middle between both nodes. If A starts at time t=0 its transmission of a packet to node C, at what time can node B start transmitting its packet to a node D in the network in order for the two packets not to collide? Assume both nodes have each a packet of length L = 1000Bytes. О а. 1.3ms O b. 1ms О с. 0.5ms d. 1.8ms
Computer Networks Consider a packet of length L that begins at end system A and travels over three links to a destination end system. These three links are connected by two packet switches. Let d, s, and R denotes the length, propagation speed, and the transmission rate of link i, for i=1,2,3 . The packet switch delays each packet by d . Assuming no queuing delays, in terms of d, s , R, (i=1,2,3),  and L, what is the total end-to-end delay for the packet? Suppose now the packet is 1,500 bytes, and the propagation speed on all three links are 3125km/sec, 10000 km/sec, and 3333km/sec respectively. The transmission rates of all three links are 2 Mbps, the packet switch processing delay is 3 msec, the length of the first link is 5,000 km, the length of the second link is 4,000 km, and the length of the last link is 1,000 km. For these values, what is the end-to-end delay?    In the above problem, suppose R1=R2=R3=R and dproc=0. Further, suppose the packet switch does not store-and-forward…
Consider a network with a ring topology, link bandwidths of 100 Mbps, and propagation speed 2 × 108 m/s. What would the circumference of the loop be to exactly contain one 1500-byte packet, assuming nodes do not introduce delay? What would the circumference be if there was a node every 100 m, and each node introduced 10 bits of delay?
