Consider the scenario shown below, with four different servers connected to four different clients over four three-hop paths. The four pairs share a common middle hop with a transmission capacity of R = 300 Mbps. The four links from the servers to the shared link have a transmission capacity of RS = 50 Mbps. Each of the four links from the shared middle link to a client has a transmission capacity of RC = 90 Mbps. Assuming that the servers are all sending at their maximum rate possible, what are the link utilizations for the server links (with transmission capacity RS)? Enter your answer in a decimal form of 1.00 (if the utilization is 1) or 0.xx (if the utilization is less than 1, rounded to the closest xx).

(50 + 50 + 50 + 50) / (50 + 50 + 50 + 50) = 200 / 200 = 1.00

1) Two people introducing themselves to each other. 2) A student raising her/his hand to ask a really insightful question, followed by the teaching acknowledging the student, listening carefully to the question, and responding with a clear, insightful answer. And then thanking the student for the question, since teachers love to get questions. 3) One person asking, and getting, the time to/from another person.

Which of the following descriptions below correspond to a "nuts-and-bolts" view of the Internet?

1) a "network of networks" 2) A collection of hardware and software components executing protocols that define the format and the order of messages exchanged between two or more communicating entities, as well as the actions taken on the transmission and/or receipt of a message or other event. 3) A collection of billions of computing devices, and packet switches interconnected by links.

Which of the following characteristics below are associated with a TCP socket? Check one or more that apply.

1) a server can perform an accept() on this type of socket 2) provides reliable, in-order byte-stream transfer (a "pipe"), from client to server 3) socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) creates this type of socket 4) when contacted, the server will create a new server-side socket to communicate with that client

1) the application must explicitly specify the IP destination address and port number for each group of bytes written into a socket 2) socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) creates this type of socket 3) provides unreliable transfer of a groups of bytes ("a datagram"), from client to server 4) data from different clients can be received on the same socket

What is an HTTP cookie used for?

A cookie is a code used by a server, carried on a client's HTTP request, to access information the server had earlier stored about an earlier interaction with this Web browser. [Think about the distinction between a browser and a person.]

Choose one the following two definitions that makes the correct distinction between routing versus forwarding.

Forwarding is the local action of moving arriving packets from router's input link to appropriate router output link, while routing is the global action of determining the source-destination paths taken by packets.

Consider the figure below, showing a link-layer frame heading from a host to a router. There are three header fields shown. Match the name of a header with a header label shown in the figure. H1 - H2 - H3 - M

It provides the definitive answer to the query with respect to a name in the authoritative name server's domain.

Which of the definitions below describe what is meant by the term "encapsulation"?

Taking data from the layer above, adding header fields appropriate for this layer, and then placing the data in the payload field of the "packet" for that layer.

What is the purpose of the HTTP GET message?

The HTTP GET request message is used by a web client to request a web server to send the requested object from the server to the client.

How does the networked application running on a server know the client IP address and the port number to reply to in response to a received datagram?

The application code at the server determines client IP address and port # from the initial segment sent by client, and must explicitly specify these values when sending into a socket back to that client.

What is the purpose of a cookie value in the HTTP GET request?

The cookie value itself doesn't mean anything. It is just a value that was returned by a web server to this client during an earlier interaction.

Suppose that the local DNS server caches all information coming in from all root, TLD, and authoritative DNS servers for 20 time units. (Thus, for example, when a root server returns the name and address of a TLD server for .com, the cache remembers that this is the TLD server to use to resolve a .com name). Assume also that the local cache is initially empty, that iterative DNS queries are always used, that DNS requests are just for name-to-IP-address translation, that 1 time unit is needed for each server-to-server or host-to-server (one way) request or response, and that there is only one authoritative name server (each) for any .edu or .com domain. Consider the following DNS requests, made by the local host at the given times: t=0, the local host requests that the name gaia.cs.umass.edu be resolved to an IP address. t=1, the local host requests that the name icann.org be resolved to an IP address. t=5, the local host requests that the name cs.umd.edu be resolved to an IP address. (Hint: be careful!) t=10, the local host again requests that the name gaia.cs.umass.edu be resolved to an IP address. t=12, the local host requests that the name cs.mit.edu be resolved to an IP address. t=3

The request at t=0. The request at t=1. The request at t=30.

The request at t=10.

What happens when a socket connect() procedure is called/invoked?

This procedure creates a new socket at the client, and connects that socket to the specified server.

What is the purpose of the conditional HTTP GET request message?

To allow a server to only send the requested object to the client if this object has changed since the server last sent this object to the client.

Suppose an HTTP server sends the following HTTP response message a client: HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2020 23:46:21 +0000 Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Last-Modified: Wed, 09 Sep 2020 23:51:41 +0000E Tag:17dc6-a5c-bf716880. Content-Length: 418 Connection: Close Content-type: image/html Will the web server close the TCP connection after sending this message?

Yes, because this is HTTP 1.0

What is the purpose of the If-Modified-Since field in a HTTP GET request message?

To indicate to the server that the client has cached this object from a previous GET, and the time it was cached.

Which of the characteristics below are associated with the technique of packet switching?

1) Resources are used on demand, not reserved in advance. 2) This technique is used in the Internet. 3) Congestion loss and variable end-end delays are possible with this technique. 4) Data may be queued before being transmitted due to other user's data that's also queueing for transmission.

What do we mean when we say "HTTP is stateless"? In answering this question, assume that cookies are not used. Check all answers that apply.

1) An HTTP server does not remember anything about what happened during earlier steps in interacting with this HTTP client.

Consider the scenario shown below, with four different servers connected to four different clients over four three-hop paths. The four pairs share a common middle hop with a transmission capacity of R = 300 Mbps. The four links from the servers to the shared link have a transmission capacity of RS = 50 Mbps. Each of the four links from the shared middle link to a client has a transmission capacity of RC = 90 Mbps. Assuming that the servers are all sending at their maximum rate possible, what are the link utilizations of the shared link (with transmission capacity R)? Enter your answer in a decimal form of 1.00 (if the utilization is 1) or 0.xx (if the utilization is less than 1, rounded to the closest xx).

(50 + 50 + 50 + 50) / 300 = 200 / 300 = 0.67

When an application uses a UDP socket, what transport services are provided to the application by UDP? Check all that apply.

1) Best effort service. The service will make a best effort to deliver data to the destination but makes no guarantees that any particular segment of data will actually get there.

Which of the following are advantages of using a web cache? Sselect one or more answers.

1) Caching uses less bandwidth coming into an institutional network where the client is located, if the cache is also located in that institutional network. 2) Caching generally provides for a faster page load time at the client, if the web cache is in the client's institutional network, because the page is loaded from the nearby cache rather than from the distant server.

When an application uses a TCP socket, what transport services are provided to the application by TCP? Check all that apply.

1) Congestion control. The service will control senders so that the senders do not collectively send more data than links in the network can handle. 2) Loss-free data transfer. The service will reliably transfer all data to the receiver, recovering from packets dropped in the network due to router buffer overflow. 3) Flow Control. The provided service will ensure that the sender does not send so fast as to overflow receiver buffers.

What is the value of caching in the local DNS name server? Check all that apply.

1) DNS caching results in less load elsewhere in DNS, when the reply to a query is found in the local cache. 2) DNS caching provides for faster replies, if the reply to the query is found in the cache.

In which of the following forms of caching does a user benefit from its not only from its own recent requests (and cached replies) but also from recent requests made from other users?

1) HTTP local web caching 2) Local DNS server caching

Which of the following are changes between HTTP 1.1 and HTTP/2? Note: select one or more answers.

1) HTTP/2 allows a large object to be broken down into smaller pieces, and the transmission of those pieces to be interleaved with transmission other smaller objects, thus preventing a large object from forcing many smaller objects to wait their turn for transmission. 2) HTTP/2 allows objects in a persistent connection to be sent in a client-specified priority order.

What is the maximum throughput achievable between sender and receiver in the scenario shown below? Link capacity from sender to router: 1.5 Mbits/sec Link capacity from router to receiver: 10 Mbits/sec

1.5 Mbps (the maximum achievable end-end throughput is the capacity of the link with the minimum capacity)

Consider the network shown in the figure below, with three links, each with the specified transmission rate and link length. Assume the length of a packet is 8000 bits. The speed of light propagation delay on each link is 3x10^8 m/sec. What is the propagation delay at (along) link 2? Link 1: transmission rate 10 Mbps, link length 2km Link 2: transmission rate 100 Mbps, link length 1000km Link 3: transmission rate 100 Mbps, link length 1km

1000 km to m = 1,000,000 m 1,000,000 m / 3x10^8 m/sec = .0033 secs

Suppose a packet is L = 1200 bytes long (one byte = 8 bits), and link transmits at R = 100 Mbps (i.e., a link can transmit bits 100,000,000 bits per second). What is the transmission delay for this packet?

1200 * 8 = 9,600 bits 9,600 bits / 100,000,000 bps = .000096 secs

Suppose a packet is L = 1500 bytes long (one byte = 8 bits), and link transmits at R = 1 Gbps (i.e., a link can transmit bits 1,000,000,000 bits per second). What is the transmission delay for this packet?

1500 * 8 = 12,000 bits 12,000 bits / 1,000,000,000 bps = .000012 secs

How many RTTs are there from when a client first contacts an email server (by initiating a TCP session) to when the client can begin sending the email message itself - that is following all initial TCP or SMTP handshaking required? Recall the figure below from our class notes:

Consider the scenario shown below, with four different servers connected to four different clients over four three-hop paths. The four pairs share a common middle hop with a transmission capacity of R = 300 Mbps. The four links from the servers to the shared link have a transmission capacity of RS = 50 Mbps. Each of the four links from the shared middle link to a client has a transmission capacity of RC = 90 Mbps. What is the maximum achievable end-end throughput (an integer value, in Mbps) for each of four client-to-server pairs, assuming that the middle link is fairly shared (divides its transmission rate equally) and all servers are trying to send at their maximum rate?

50 Mbps (the maximum achievable end-end throughput is the capacity of the link with the minimum capacity)

Suppose a Web server has five ongoing connections that use TCP receiver port 80, and assume there are no other TCP connections (open or being opened or closed) at that server. How many TCP sockets are in use at this server?

Consider the network shown in the figure below, with three links, each with the specified transmission rate and link length. Assume the length of a packet is 8000 bits. What is the transmission delay at link 2? Link 1: transmission rate 10 Mbps, link length 2km Link 2: transmission rate 100 Mbps, link length 1000km Link 3: transmission rate 100 Mbps, link length 1km

8000 bits / 100 Mbps = 8000 bits / 100,000,000 bps = 8 x 10^(-5) secs

The request at t=5. The request at t=12.

Suppose a client is sending an HTTP GET message to a web server, gaia.cs.umass.edu.
