This question requires a little bit of background in probability (but we'll try to help you though it in the solutions). Consider the two scenarios below: A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 20 Mbps, must share a link of capacity 150 Mbps. A packet-switching scenario with Nps users sharing a 150 Mbps link, where each user again requires 20 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 20 percent of the time. What is the probability that any 4 users (of the total 13 users) are transmitting and the remaining users are not transmitting?

0.15: The probability that 4 specific users of the total 13 users are transmitting and the other 9 users are idle is p4(1-p)9. Thus the probability that any 4 of the 7 users are busy is choose(13, 4) * p4(1-p)9, where choose(13, 4) is the (13, 4) coefficient of the binomial distribution). The numerical value of this probability is 0.15.

Consider the circuit-switched network shown in the figure below, with circuit switches A, B, C, and D. Suppose there are 14 circuits between A and B, 20 circuits between B and C, 16 circuits between C and D, and 15 circuits between D and A. Suppose that every connection requires 2 consecutive hops, and calls are connected clockwise. For example, a connection can go from A to C, from B to D, from C to A, and from D to B. With these constraints, what is the is the maximum number of connections that can be ongoing in the network at any one time?

30: There can be a maximum of 30 connections. Consider routes A->C and C->A, sum the bottleneck links, consider any leftover capacity that would allow for B->D and D->B connections, and compare that value to the equivalent of B->D and D->B.

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

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.

The Web typically sends multiple objects in a Web page within a multipart MIME message.

False

Which of the following actions are associated with end-end congestion control (say versus network-assisted congestion control). Check all that apply.

A router drops a packet at a congested router, which causes the transport-layer sender to infer that there is congestion due to the missing ACK for the lost packet. A sender decreases its sending rate in response to packet loss detected via its transport-layer ACKing. The transport-layer sender decreases its sending rate in response to a measured increase in the RTT. A datagram experiences delay at a congested network router, which is then measured by the sender and used to decrease the sending rate.

Which of the following actions are used in network-assisted congestion control (say versus end-end congestion control) to signal congestion. Check all that apply.

A router sends an ICMP message to a host telling it to slow down its sending rate. A router marks a field in the datagram header at a congested router.

Which type of DNS server holds a company's DNS records? Answer with the full name

Authoritative DNS server

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.

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.

Caching uses less bandwidth coming into an institutional network where the client is located, if the cache is also located in that institutional network. 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.

Consider the TCP Telnet scenario below (from Fig. 3.36 in text). What timer-related action does the sender take on the receipt of ACK 120?

Cancels any running timers.

True or False: It is possible for two UDP segments to be sent from the same socket with source port 5723 at a server to two different clients.

True

3.1-5 Network-layer functionality. 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:

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

A server can use cookies to determine a user's postal address without the user's consent.

False

Before sending a packet into a datagram network, the source must determine all of the links that packet will traverse between source and destination.

False

Technique of packet switching

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

3.2-1 Transport-layer demultiplexing. What is meant by transport-layer demultiplexing?

In the SR receiver window (see diagram below, taken from PPT slides and video), why haven't the red packets been delivered yet? Check the one or more reasons below that apply.

There is a packet with a lower sequence number than any of the red packets that has yet to be received, so in-order delivery of data in the red packets up to the application layer is not possible.

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.

True or False: When computing the Internet checksum for two numbers, a single flipped bit (i.e., in just one of the two numbers) will always result in a changed checksum.

True

Suppose now the server sends the following HTTP response message the client:HTTP/1.0 200 OKDate: Wed, 09 Sep 2020 23:46:21 +0000Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)Last-Modified: Wed, 09 Sep 2020 23:51:41 +0000ETag:17dc6-a5c-bf716880.Content-Length: 418Connection: CloseContent-type: image/htmlWill the web server close the TCP connection after sending this message?

Yes, the server will close this connection because version 1.0 of HTTP is being used, and TCP connections do not stay open persistently.

Suppose a packet is 10K bits long, the channel transmission rate connecting a sender and receiver is 10 Mbps, and the round-trip propagation delay is 10 ms. What is the maximum channel utilization of a stop-and-wait protocol for this channel?

This question requires a little bit of background in probability (but we'll try to help you though it in the solutions). Consider the two scenarios below: A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 20 Mbps, must share a link of capacity 150 Mbps. A packet-switching scenario with Nps users sharing a 150 Mbps link, where each user again requires 20 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 20 percent of the time. Suppose packet switching is used. What is the probability that a given (specific) user is transmitting, and the remaining users are not transmitting?

0.014 The probability that a given (specific) user is busy transmitting, which we'll denote p, is just the fraction of time it is transmitting, i.e. 0.2. The probability that one specific other user is not busy is (1-p), and so the probability that all of the other Nps-1 users are not transmitting is (1-p)Nps-1. Thus the probability that one specific user is transmitting and the remaining users are not transmitting is p*(1-p)Nps-1, which has the numerical value of 0.014.

This question requires a little bit of background in probability (but we'll try to help you though it in the solutions). Consider the two scenarios below: A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 20 Mbps, must share a link of capacity 150 Mbps. A packet-switching scenario with Nps users sharing a 150 Mbps link, where each user again requires 20 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 20 percent of the time. When one user is transmitting, what fraction of the link capacity will be used by this user? Write your answer as a decimal.

0.13: This user will be transmitting at a rate of 20 Mbps over the 150 Mbps link, using a fraction 0.13 of the link's capacity when busy.

Consider the queuing delay in a router buffer, where the packet experiences a delay as it waits to be transmitted onto the link. The length of the queuing delay of a specific packet will depend on the number of earlier-arriving packets that are queued and waiting for transmission onto the link. If the queue is empty and no other packet is currently being transmitted, then our packet's queuing delay will be zero. On the other hand, if the traffic is heavy and many other packets are also waiting to be transmitted, the queuing delay will be long. Assume a constant transmission rate of R = 1100000 bps, a constant packet-length L = 3700 bits, and a is the average rate of packets/second. Traffic intensity I = La/R, and the queuing delay is calculated as I(L/R)(1 - I) for I < 1. Assuming the router's buffer is infinite, the queuing delay is 0.5617 ms, and 1731 packets arrive. How many packets will be in the buffer 1 second later?

0: Packets left in buffer = a - floor(1000/delay) = 1731 - floor(1000/0.5617) = 0 packets.

Consider the figure below, in which a single router is transmitting packets, each of length L bits, over a single link with transmission rate R Mbps to another router at the other end of the link. Suppose that the packet length isL= 16000 bits, and that the link transmission rate along the link to router on the right isR= 1000 Mbps. What is the transmission delay?

1.60E-5: The transmission delay = L/R = 16000 bits / 1000000000 bps = 1.60E-5 seconds

In the following 7 problems, we are sending a 30 Mbit MP3 file from a source host to a destination host. All links in the path between source and destination have a transmission rate of 10 Mbps. Assume that the propagation speed is 2 * 108 meters/sec, and the distance between source and destination is 10,000 km. Initially suppose there is only one link between source and destination. Also suppose that the entire MP3 file is sent as one packet. The transmission delay is:

In the following 7 problems, we are sending a 30 Mbit MP3 file from a source host to a destination host. All links in the path between source and destination have a transmission rate of 10 Mbps. Assume that the propagation speed is 2 * 108 meters/sec, and the distance between source and destination is 10,000 km. Now suppose there are two links between source and destination, with one router connecting the two links. Each link is 5,000 km long. Again suppose the MP3 file is sent as one packet.

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.

True or False: with TCP's flow control mechanism, where the receiver tells the sender how much free buffer space it has (and the sender always limits the amount of outstanding, unACKed, in-flight data to less than this amount), it is not possible for the sender to send more data than the receiver has room to buffer.

True

With ADSL, each subscriber gets more downstream bandwidth than upstream bandwidth

True

Digital Signatures

Used to detect tampering/changing of message contents, and to identify the originator of a message.

Link Layer

passes frames from one node to another across some medium

Consider the figure below, which shows the application-to-application throughput achieved when two senders are competing at a shared bottleneck link. Suppose that when the overall arrival rate, lambdain' (for each sender) is close to R/2, the throughput to the application layer (at each receiver), lambdaout, is equal to 0.8 * lambdain'. What fraction of the packets transmitted at the sender are retransmissions?

.20

In a TCP connection, suppose that loss occurs whenever the window size of a connection hits W. Also suppose that the RTT is constant. Then the approximate average transmission rate is

.75 W*MSS/RTT

0.0012 The probability that more than 7 users of the total 13 users are transmitting is Σ i=8,13 choose(13, i) * pi(1-p)13 - i. The numerical value of this probability is 0.0012. Note that 7 is the maximum number of users that can be supported using circuit switching. With packet switching, nearly twice as many users (13) are supported with a small probability that more than 7 of these packet-switching users are busy at the same time.

Consider TCP use of an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) to compute the nth value of the estimated RTT:EstimatedRTTn = (1- a)*EstimatedRTTn-1 + a*SampleRTTnTrue or False: with this EWMA algorithm the value of EstimatedRTTn has no dependence on the earlier sample, SampleRTTn-1

False

Consider an HTTP Web server using persistent connections. Suppose the server spawns a separate process for each client that connects to the server. Then each of these spawned processes will have different server port numbers.

False

DNS is an application level protocol that runs over TCP

False

Host A is sending host B a large file over a TCP connection. Assume host B has no data to send A. Host B will not send acknowledgements to host A because host B cannot piggyback the acknowledgements on data.

False

If an HTTP request message uses the Accept-language: fr header, and the server only has an English version of the object, then the server will return the 404 Document Not Found error message.

False

In BitTorrent, a peer's instantaneous download rate can never exceed its instantaneous upload rate.

False

In the connection flooding attack, the attacker sends a deluge of packets to the targeted host, clogging the target's access link with packets.

False

Question 3:The size of the TCP RcvWindow never changes throughout the duration of the connection.

False

Suppose 10 connections traverse the same link of rate 1 Gbps. Suppose that the client access links all have rate 5 Mbps. Then the maximum throughput for each connection is 100 Mbps.

False

Suppose host A is sending a large file to host B over a TCP connection. If the sequence number for a segment of this connection is m, then the sequence number for the subsequent segment will necessarily be m+1.

False

Suppose host A sends host B one segment with sequence number 38 and 4 bytes of data. Then in this same segment the acknowledgement number is necessarily 42.

False

Suppose that host A wants to send data over TCP to host B, and host B wants to send data to host A over TCP. Two separate TCP connections - one for each direction - are needed.

False

Suppose that the last SampleRTT in a TCP connection is equal to 1 sec. Then Timeout for the connection will necessarily be set to a value >= 1 sec.

False

HTTP and SMTP

Has ASCII command/response interaction, status codes. Is able to use a persistent TCP connection to transfer multiple objects

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 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. 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.

3.3-4 Internet checksum and UDP. Over what set of bytes is the checksum field in the UDP header computed over?

The entire UDP segment, except the checksum field itself, and the IP sender and receive address fields

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

Reliable data delivery. In-order data delivery A byte stream abstraction, that does not preserve boundaries between message data sent in different socket send calls at the sender. A congestion control service to ensure that multiple senders do not overload network links. A flow-control service that ensures that a sender will not send at such a high rate so as to overflow receiving host buffers.

Local DNS

Replies to DNS query by local host, by contacting other DNS servers to answer the query.

HTTP GET

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.

Check all of the phrases below that state a true property of a local DNS server.

The local DNS server can decrease the name-to-IP-address resolution time experienced by a querying local host over the case when a DNS is resolved via querying into the DNS hierarchy. The local DNS server record for a remote host is sometimes different from that of the authoritative server for that host.

This question requires a little bit of background in probability (but we'll try to help you though it in the solutions). Consider the two scenarios below: A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 20 Mbps, must share a link of capacity 150 Mbps. A packet-switching scenario with Nps users sharing a 150 Mbps link, where each user again requires 20 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 20 percent of the time. Suppose packet switching is used. What is the probability that one user (any one among the 13 users) is transmitting, and the remaining users are not transmitting?

The probability that exactly one (any one) of the Nps users is transmitting is Nps times the probability that a given specific user is transmitting and the remaining users are not transmitting. The answer is thus Nps * p * (1-p)Nps-1, which has the numerical value of 0.18.

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/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=30, the local host again requests that the name gaia.cs.umass.edu be resolved to an IP address. (Hint: be careful!) Which of the requests require 8 time units to be resolved?

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

The request at t=10.

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

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

Suppose the computer in your office has been configured with an IP address, and you move (along with your computer) to an office down the hall. If after the move your computer is connected to the same IP network, then it is not necessary to reconfigure the IP address in your computer.

True

True or False: On the sending side, the UDP sender will take each application-layer chunk of data written into a UDP socket and send it in a distinct UDP datagram. And then on the receiving side, UDP will deliver a segment's payload into the appropriate socket, preserving the application-defined message boundary.

True

True or False: When multiple UDP clients send UDP segments to the same destination port number at a receiving host, those segments (from different senders) will always be directed to the same socket at the receiving host.

True

With a datagram network layer, each packet carries the address of the destination host.

True

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

True.

Yes, because this is a conditional GET, as evidenced by the If-Modified-Since field.

Suppose a router has n input ports each with identical line speeds, n output ports each with identical line speeds, and the line speed of an output port is at least n times as that of an input port.

Consider the queuing delay in a router buffer, where the packet experiences a delay as it waits to be transmitted onto the link. The length of the queuing delay of a specific packet will depend on the number of earlier-arriving packets that are queued and waiting for transmission onto the link. If the queue is empty and no other packet is currently being transmitted, then our packet's queuing delay will be zero. On the other hand, if the traffic is heavy and many other packets are also waiting to be transmitted, the queuing delay will be long. Assume a constant transmission rate of R = 1100000 bps, a constant packet-length L = 3700 bits, and a is the average rate of packets/second. Traffic intensity I = La/R, and the queuing delay is calculated as I(L/R)(1 - I) for I < 1. Assuming that a = 33, what is the queuing delay? Give your answer in milliseconds (ms)

0.3319 : Queuing Delay = I(L/R)(1 - I) * 1000 = 0.111*(3700/1100000)*(1-0.111) * 1000 = 0.3319 ms.

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 client links (with transmission capacity RC)? 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).

Consider the figure below, adapted from Figure 1.17 in the text, which draws the analogy between store-and-forward link transmission and propagation of bits in packet along a link, and cars in a caravan being serviced at a toll booth and then driving along a road to the next tollbooth. Suppose the caravan has 20 cars, and that the tollbooth services (that is, transmits) a car at a rate of one car per 1 seconds. Once receiving serving a car proceeds to the next tool both, which is 200 kilometers away at a rate of 20 kilometers per second. Also assume that whenever the first car of the caravan arrives at a tollbooth, it must wait at the entrance to the tollbooth until all of the other cars in its caravan have arrived, and lined up behind it before being serviced at the toll booth. (That is, the entire caravan must be stored at the tollbooth before the first car in the caravan can pay its toll and begin driving towards the next tollbooth). Once the last car leaves the tollbooth, how long does it take until it arrives at the next tollbooth?

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:

In the following 7 problems, we are sending a 30 Mbit MP3 file from a source host to a destination host. All links in the path between source and destination have a transmission rate of 10 Mbps. Assume that the propagation speed is 2 * 108 meters/sec, and the distance between source and destination is 10,000 km.

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?

Suppose an application generates chunks of 60 bytes of data every second, and each chunk gets encapsulated in a TCP segment and then an IP datagram. What percentage of each datagram will contain application data.

60%

62500: The number of packets that can be transmitted in a second into the link = R / L = 1000000000 bps / 16000 bits = 62500 packets

65: 1. The maximum number of connections that can be ongoing at any one time is the sum of all circuits, which happens when 14 connections go from A to B, 20 connections go from B to C, 16 connections go from C to D, and 15 connections go from D to A. This sum is 65.

This question requires a little bit of background in probability (but we'll try to help you though it in the solutions). Consider the two scenarios below: A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 20 Mbps, must share a link of capacity 150 Mbps. A packet-switching scenario with Nps users sharing a 150 Mbps link, where each user again requires 20 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 20 percent of the time. When circuit switching is used, what is the maximum number of users that can be supported?

7: When circuit switching is used, at most 7 users can be supported. This is because each circuit-switched user must be allocated its 20 Mbps bandwidth, and there is 150 Mbps of link capacity that can be allocated.

Consider the queuing delay in a router buffer, where the packet experiences a delay as it waits to be transmitted onto the link. The length of the queuing delay of a specific packet will depend on the number of earlier-arriving packets that are queued and waiting for transmission onto the link.

Traffic intensity I = La/R, and the queuing delay is calculated as I(L/R)(1 - I) for I < 1. If the buffer has a maximum size of 913 packets, how many of the 1731 packets would be dropped upon arrival from the previous question?

818: Packets dropped = packets - buffer size = 1731 - 913 = 818 dropped packets.

Advantages of using a web cache

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?

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

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. Flow Control. The provided service will ensure that the sender does not send so fast as to overflow receiver buffers. Congestion control. The service will control senders so that the senders do not collectively send more data than links in the network can handle.

Consider the figure below, adapted from Figure 1.17 in the text, which draws the analogy between store-and-forward link transmission and propagation of bits in packet along a link, and cars in a caravan being serviced at a toll booth and then driving along a road to the next tollbooth. Suppose the caravan has 20 cars, and that the tollbooth services (that is, transmits) a car at a rate of one car per 1 seconds. Once receiving serving a car proceeds to the next tool both, which is 200 kilometers away at a rate of 20 kilometers per second. Also assume that whenever the first car of the caravan arrives at a tollbooth, it must wait at the entrance to the tollbooth until all of the other cars in its caravan have arrived, and lined up behind it before being serviced at the toll booth. (That is, the entire caravan must be stored at the tollbooth before the first car in the caravan can pay its toll and begin driving towards the next tollbooth). Are there ever two cars in service at the same time, one at the first toll booth and one at the second toll booth? Answer Yes or No

No: No, because cars can't get service at the next tollbooth until all cars have arrived

This question requires a little bit of background in probability (but we'll try to help you though it in the solutions). Consider the two scenarios below: A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 20 Mbps, must share a link of capacity 150 Mbps. A packet-switching scenario with Nps users sharing a 150 Mbps link, where each user again requires 20 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 20 percent of the time. Suppose packet switching is used. If there are 13 packet-switching users, can this many users be supported under circuit-switching? Yes or No.

No: Under circuit switching, the 13 users would each need to be allocated 20 Mbps, for an aggregate of 260 Mbps - more than the 150 Mbps of link capacity available.

Consider the circuit-switched network shown in the figure below, with circuit switches A, B, C, and D. Suppose there are 14 circuits between A and B, 20 circuits between B and C, 16 circuits between C and D, and 15 circuits between D and A. Suppose that 19 connections are needed from A to C, and 17 connections are needed from B to D. Can we route these calls through the four links to accommodate all 36 connections? Answer Yes or No

No: Using our answer from question 4, the sum of our needed connections is 36, and we have 30 available connections, so it is NOT possible.

Yes, because this is HTTP 1.0

Consider the queuing delay in a router buffer, where the packet experiences a delay as it waits to be transmitted onto the link. The length of the queuing delay of a specific packet will depend on the number of earlier-arriving packets that are queued and waiting for transmission onto the link. If the queue is empty and no other packet is currently being transmitted, then our packet's queuing delay will be zero. On the other hand, if the traffic is heavy and many other packets are also waiting to be transmitted, the queuing delay will be long. Assume a constant transmission rate of R = 1100000 bps, a constant packet-length L = 3700 bits, and a is the average rate of packets/second. Traffic intensity I = La/R, and the queuing delay is calculated as I(L/R)(1 - I) for I < 1. In practice, does the queuing delay tend to vary a lot? Answer with Yes or No

Yes: Yes, in practice, queuing delay can vary significantly. We use the above formulas as a way to give a rough estimate, but in a real-life scenario it is much more complicated.

Consider the figure below, adapted from Figure 1.17 in the text, which draws the analogy between store-and-forward link transmission and propagation of bits in packet along a link, and cars in a caravan being serviced at a toll booth and then driving along a road to the next tollbooth. Suppose the caravan has 20 cars, and that the tollbooth services (that is, transmits) a car at a rate of one car per 1 seconds. Once receiving serving a car proceeds to the next tool both, which is 200 kilometers away at a rate of 20 kilometers per second. Also assume that whenever the first car of the caravan arrives at a tollbooth, it must wait at the entrance to the tollbooth until all of the other cars in its caravan have arrived, and lined up behind it before being serviced at the toll booth. (That is, the entire caravan must be stored at the tollbooth before the first car in the caravan can pay its toll and begin driving towards the next tollbooth). Are there ever zero cars in service at the same time, i.e., the caravan of cars has finished at the first toll both but not yet arrived at the second tollbooth? Answer Yes or No

Yes: Yes, one notable example is when the last car in the caravan is serviced but is still travelling to the next toll booth; all other cars have to wait until it arrives, thus no cars are being serviced
