VPN:

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a data network connection which uses the public telecommunication infrastructure. However, it retains confidentiality.

  • This confidentiality is maintained with the help of “tunneling protocol” and “security procedures”.
  • The tunneling protocol is called Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and is used for secure connections in an organization with the help of public resources such as Internet.

(3e) Test-and-Set. The Test-and-Set instruction is used in hardware to achieve synchronization. It can be defined in the following way: function Test-and-Set (var target: boolean): boolean; begin Test-and-Set:= target; target := true; end; Now show how the Test-and-Set instruction can be used to protect a critical region and hence achieve mutual exclusion (do not worry about satisfying the bounded waiting condition). (8 points) repeat
Consider a system with three smoker processes and one agent process. Each smoker continuously rolls a cigarette and then smokes it. But to roll and smoke a cigarette, the smoker needs three ingredients: tobacco, paper and matches. One of the smoker processes has paper, another has tobacco and the third has the matches. The agent has an infinite supply of all three materials. The agent places two of the ingredients on the table. The smoker who has the remaining ingredient then makes and smokes a cigarette, signaling the agent on completion. The agent then puts out another two of the three ingredients, and the cycle repeats. Given below is a solution to the Cigarette-Smokers Problem. Give initial conditions for the semaphores as well as plausible values for the variables i & j and r & s, such that the agent and smokers are synchronized. Write a couple of sentences on why these initial conditions are necessary and sufficient. Solution: var a: array [0..2] of semaphore (initial condition =…
