Chapter 3, Problem P28P

Host A and B are directly connected with a 100 Mbps link. There is one TCP connection between the two hosts, and Host A is sending to Host B an enormous file over this connection. Host A can send its application data into its TCP socket at a rate as high as 120 Mbps but Host B can read out of its TCP receive buffer at a maximum rate of 50 Mbps. Describe the effect of TCP flow control.

4. Suppose that the average number of cars abandoned weekly on a certain highway is λ = 1.68. Approximate the probability that there will be (a) No abandoned cars in the next week. (b) At least 2 abandoned cars in the next week. Hint: Model the problem with a Poisson random variable.
od The probability mass function of a discrete random variable X is given by P(X = 1) = {} x=1,2,3,4 10 otherwise (a) Draw the probability mass function (PMF) of this random variable. (b) Draw the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of this random variable. (c) What is P{2< x <4}? Write it in terms of the CDF. (d) What is E[X]? (e) What is Var[X]? (f) What is E[X (6-X)]? (g) What is Var[3X - 2]?
