Consider sending a large file of F bits from Host A to Host B. There are three links (and two switches) between A and B, and the links are uncongested (that is, no queuing delays). Host A segments the file into segments of S bits each and adds 80 bits of header to each segment, forming packets of L=80+ S bits. Each link has a transmission rate of R bps. Find the value of S that minimizes the delay of moving the file from Host A to Host B. Disregard propagation delay.

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 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?

Suppose there is exactly one packet switch between a sending host and a receiving host. The transmission rate between the sending host and the switch and between the switch and the receiving host are R1 and R2 respectively. If the switch uses store-and-forward packetswitching,what is the total end-to-end delay to send a packet of length L? (Ignore queuing, propagation delay, and processing delay.)
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.
The network referenced is shown in the picture below: Assume the network uses packet switching and 2 Kilobyte packets. Assume both L1 and L2 each have a propagation delay of 0.1 seconds. We are sending a 100 Kilobyte file. If L1 has infinite bandwidth, and L2 has a bandwidth of 1 Megabit (125 Kilobytes) per second, how long does it take to send the entire file? After the entire file is sent, a single acknowledgment is needed to say the file arrived, how long does the entire process take now (you can assume the ack has negligible size)? If a maximum of 10 packets can be sent per an RTT (this is the equivalent of a fixed window size of 10 packets), how long does it take to send the entire file? What if we start with a congestion window of 1 packet in slow start phase and no slow start threshold, How long to send the entire file now (Hint: This is similar to the previous question but with a variable window rather than fixed)? What if we start in congestion avoidance (linear growth)?

Consider transferring an enormous file of L bytes from Host A to Host B. Assume an MSS of 536 bytes.a. What is the maximum value of L such that TCP sequence numbers are not exhausted? Recall that the TCP sequence number field has 4 bytes.b. For the L you obtain in (a), find how long it takes to transmit the file. Assume that a total of 66 bytes of transport, network, and data-link header are added to each segment before the resulting packet is sent out over a 155 Mbps link. Ignore flow control and congestion control so A can pump out the segments back to back and continuously.
