Consider a short, 10-meter link, over which a sender can transmit at a rate of 150 bits/sec in both directions. Suppose that packets containing data are 100.000 bits long, and packets containing only control (e.g.. ACK or handshaking) are 200 bits long. Assume that N parallel connections each get 1/N of the link bandwidth. Now consider the HTTP protocol, and suppose that each downloaded object is 100 Kbits long, and that the initial downloaded object contains 10 referenced objects from the same sender. Would parallel downloads via parallel instances of non-persistent HTTP make sense in this case? Now consider persistent HTTP. Do you expect significant gains over the non-persistent case? Justify and explain your answer.

Consider sending a file of F bits over a path of Q links. Each link transmits at R bits per second (bps). The network is lightly loaded so that there are no queueing delays. When a form of packet switching is used, the F bits are broken up into packets, each packet with L bits, of which h bits of it are header. Propagation delay is negligible. Let F = 5x104, Q = 20, R = 1 Mbps, L = 1000, and h = 10. b) Suppose the network is a packet-switched datagram network and a connectionless service is used. How long does it take to send the file?
Consider an HTTP client that wants to retrieve a Web document at a given URL. The IP address of the HTTP server is initially unknown. What transport and application-layer protocols besides HTTP are needed in this scenario?
Consider two hosts, A and B, connected by a single link of rate R bps. Suppose that the two hosts are separated by m meters, and suppose the propagation speed along the link is s meters/sec. Host A is to send a packet of size L bits to host B. d. Suppose host A begins to transmit the packet at time t= 0, at time t=dtrans, where is the last bit of the packet?e. Suppose dprop is greater than dtrans. At time t =dtrans, where is the first bit of the packet? f. Suppose dprop is less than dtrans. At time t =dtrans, where is the first bit of the packet?g. Suppose s = 2.5 x 108 , L=100 bits, and R=28 Kbps. Find the distance m so that dprop = dtrans.
Consider a network with 4 links between two hosts where the maximum allowable packet size is 1000 bits; each link has a transmission rate of 2000 bits per second, except the second link has a transmission rate of 1000 bits per second. How long does it take to send 6000 bits from one host to the other? You may ignore propogation delay, assume there is no other traffic on the network, and assume that no routers drop packets due to queue length. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Consider a packet of length L that begins at end system A and travels over three links to a destination end system. These three links are connected by two packet switches. Let di, si, and Ri denote the length, propagation speed, and the transmission rate of link i, for i=1,2,3. The packet switch delays each packet by dproc. Assuming no queuing delays, in terms of di, si, Ri, (i=1,2,3), and L, what is the total end-to-end delay for the packet? Suppose now the packet is 1,200 bytes, the propagation speed on all three links is 2.5x10^8 m/s, the transmission rates of all three links are 2 Mbps, the packet switch processing delay is 3 msec, the length of the first link is 4,000 km, the length of the second link is 3,000 km, and the length of the last link is 1,500 km. For these values, what is the end-to-end delay? In the above problem, suppose R1=R2=R3=R and dproc=0.

Consider sending real-time data from Host A to Host B over a packet-switched network. Host A takes an 8-bit measurement every millisecond, and Host A collects these into 64-byte packets. There is one link between Hosts A and B; its transmission rate is 5 Mbps, its propagation delay is 2 × 108 meters/sec, and its length is 3 km. As soon as Host A gathers a packet, it sends the packet to Host B. How much time elapses from the time that Host A begins to take the first measurement in a packet until the entire packet reaches Host B?
This elementary problem begins to explore propagation delay andtransmission delay, two central concepts in data networking. Consider two hosts, Aand B, connected by a single link of rate R bps.
