That someone has used the Internet at least once in the last three months.

Which of the following statement are true about the 802.11 (WiFi) MAC protocol?

The 802.11 MAC protocol performs collision avoidance. That is, an 802.11 sender and receiver can use approaches such as RTS/CTS, inter-frame spacing, and explicit acknowledgments to try avoid, rather than detect, colliding transmissions from another node.

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.

What is meant when it is said that the Internet has an "hourglass" architecture? See the picture below if you are unfamiliar with an "hourglass".

The Internet protocol stack has a "thin waist" in the middle, like an hourglass. The Internet Protocol (IP) is the only network-layer protocol in the middle layer of the stack. Every other layer has multiple protocols at that layer.

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?

Suppose a datagram is switched through the switching fabric and arrives to its appropriate output to find that there are no free buffers. In this case:

The packet will either be dropped or another packet will be removed (lost) from the buffer to make room for this packet, depending on policy. But the packet will definitely not be be sent back to the input port.

[This question is the same as an earlier question, except for the question statement at the very end.] 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 add

The request at t=10.

True

True or False: The transport layer provides for host-to-host delivery service?

True.

Consider TCP's Fast Retransmit optimization (see Figure 3.37 from the text, below). Of course, the sender doesn't know for sure that the segment with sequence # 100 is actually lost (it can't see into the channel). Can a sender get three duplicate ACKs for a segment that in fact has not been lost? Which of the following statements are true? Suppose a channel can lose, but will not corrupt, messages.

- If the channel can reorder messages, a triple duplicate ACK can occur even though a message is not lost; since it's possible that a message has just been reordered and has not yet arrived when the three duplicate ACKs were generated. - If the channel cannot reorder messages, a triple duplicate ACK indicates to the sender that a segment loss has happened for sure. Actually (again assuming the channel cannot corrupt or reorder messages), even a single duplicate ACK would indicate that a segment loss has happed for sure.

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

Which of the following statements is true about how 4G cellular networks (operated by different carriers/companies) connect together?

4G networks are generally all-IP, and so cellular networks interconnect (peer) directly to each other, or peer at the cellular equivalents of the Internet Exchange Points that we saw used for interconnecting wired networks in the public Internet.

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? Your answer: [A] Mbps

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.]

What is meant by a cumulative acknowledgment, ACK(n)?

A cumulative ACK(n) acks all packets with a sequence number up to and including n as being received.

Check all of the services below that are provided by the UDP protocol.

A message abstraction, that preserves boundaries between message data sent in different socket send calls at the sender.

Match the description of a TCP connection management message with the name of the message used to accomplish that function.

A message from client to server initiating a connection request. - SYN mesage A message from server to client ACKing receipt of a SYN message and indicating the willingness of the server to establish a TCP connection with the client. - SYNACK message A message indicating that the sending side is initiating the protocol to terminate a connection. - FIN message A message sent in response to a request to terminate a connection, ACKing that the side receiving this message is also willing to terminate the connection - FINACK message A general purpose error message used during connection set up or tear down to let the other side know that an error has occurred, and that the referenced connection should be shut down. - RESET message

Suppose that as shown in the figure below, a TCP sender is sending segments with 100 bytes of payload. The TCP sender sends five segments with sequence numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500. Suppose that the segment with sequence number 300 is lost. The TCP receiver will buffer correctly-received but not-yet-in-order segments for later delivery to the application layer (once missing segments are later received).

After receiving segment 100, the receiver responds with an ACK with value: - 200 After receiving segment 200, the receiver responds with an ACK with value: - 300 After receiving segment 500, the receiver responds with an ACK with value: - 300, a duplicate ACK After receiving the retransmitted segment 300, the receiver responds with an ACK with value: - 600 The TCP receiver does not respond in the example, with an ACK with value: - 400

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.

What is meant by generalized forwarding (as opposed to destination-based forwarding) in a router or switch?

Any of several actions (including drop (block), forward to a given interface, or duplicate-and-forward) can be made based on the contents of one or more packet header fields.

Why does the WiFi (802.11) link-layer frame have three addresses? [Note: WiFi actually has four MAC addresses in the frame, but we're only focusing here on the three widely used ones].

Because both the access point that will relay this frame to the intended link-layer receiving host or router interface, as well as that intended destination host or router interface need to be specified.

Why is the UDP header length field needed?

Because the payload section can be of variable length, and this lets UDP know where the segment ends.

Consider the TCP Telnet scenario below (from Fig. 3.31 in text). Why is it that the receiver sends an ACK that is one larger than the sequence number in the received datagram?

Because the send-to receiver segment carries only one byte of data, and after that segment is received, the next expected byte of data is just the next byte (i.e., has an index that is one larger) in the data stream.

In SR, why does the receiver have to acknowledge packets with sequence numbers that are less than (and to the left of) those in its window, which starts at rcv_base.

Because the sender may not have received an ACK for that packet yet.

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

Match the name of a general approach to routing with characteristics of that approach.

Centralized, global routing. - All routers have complete topology, and link cost information. Decentralized routing. - An iterative process of computation, exchange of informatoin with neighbors. Routers may initially only know link costs to directly-attached neighbors. Static routing. - Routes change slowly over time. Dynamic routing. - Routing changes quickly over time.

The transport layer sits on top of the network layer, and provides its services using the services provided to it by the network layer. Thus it's important that we know what is meant by the network layer's "best effort" delivery service. True or False: The network layer's best-effort delivery service means that IP makes its "best effort" to deliver segments between communicating hosts, but it makes no guarantees. In particular, it does not guarantee segment delivery, it does not guarantee orderly delivery of segments, and it does not guarantee the integrity of the data in the segments.

Correct! The network layer's best effort service doesn't really provide much service at all, does it?

What is meant when we say that a network of devices is operating in "infrastructure mode"?
