In step 4 of the CSMA/CA protocol, a station that successfully transmits a frame begins the CSMA/CA protocol for a second frame at step 2, rather than at step 1. What rationale might the designers of CSMA/CA have had in mind by having such a station not transmit the second frame. Immediately (if the channel is sensed idle)?

An ARP query is delivered within a broadcast frame for a reason. Why is an ARP response transmitted in a frame with a specific MAC address as the destination?
Suppose an application uses rdt 3.0 as its transport layer protocol. As the stop-and-wait protocol has very low channel utilization (shown in the cross-country example), the designers of this application let the receiver keep sending back a number (more than two) of alternating ACK 0 and ACK 1 even if the corresponding data have not arrived at the receiver. Would this application design increase the channel utilization? Why? Are there any potential problems with this approach? Explain
An ARP query is delivered inside a broadcast frame for a reason. Why is an ARP response transmitted in a frame with a specified MAC address as the destination?
Describe with an example how MAC and ARP are used to send a frame from source to destination when the source and destinations belong to different subnets.
Consider the rdt 3.0 protocol. Draw a diagram showing that if the network connection between the sender and receiver can reorder messages (that is, that two messages propagating in the medium between the sender and receiver can be reordered), then the alternating-bit protocol will not work correctly (make sure you clearly identify the sense in which it will not work correctly). Your diagram should have the sender on the left and the receiver on the right, with the time axis running down the page, showing data (D) and acknowledgment (A) message exchange. Make sure you indicate the sequence number associated with any data or acknowledgment segment.
Consider a reliable data transfer protocol that uses only negative acknowledgments. Suppose the sender sends data only infrequently. Would a NAK-only protocol be preferable to a protocol that uses ACKs? Why? Now suppose the sender has a lot of data to send and the endto- end connection experiences few losses. In this second case, would a NAK-only protocol be preferable to a protocol that uses ACKs? Why?
The distance between two microwave towers, with the link capacity 100 Mbps, is 24 Km and the speed of the signal is 3 x 10^8 m/sec. If the frame size is 50 KB in the GoBack-N protocol, The approximate link utilization is _in %(. Assume that the ACK packets are negligible in the size and there are no errors during communication ) Correct answer will be appreciated , else downvoted.
Assume that a program uses rdt 3.0 as the protocol transport layer. As the stop and-wait protocol is very low (shown on the cross-country example), the designers of the application will give the recipient a number (more than two) of ACK 0 and ACK 1 alternating, even though the relevant data did not reach the receiver. Can this program architecture maximize the use of the channel? Why? Would this strategy have any possible problems? Give Explanation.
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. Suppose that the two hosts areseparated by m meters, and suppose the propagation speed along the link is smeters/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= ?????? ,where is the last bit of the packet? e. Suppose ????? is greater than ?????? . At time t= ??????, where is the first bit of the packet?f. Suppose ????? is less than ??????. At time t= ?????? , where is the first bit of thepacket?
Assume that the link has an MSS of 100 bytes and that we are using a stop and wait protocol. If we have no packet loss and an RTT of 100ms, what is the utilization of this link?
Consider the scenario in which a packet is sent from a source host to a destination host along a path that has been predetermined. Create a list of the delay components and include it in the end-to-end delay. Which of the delays is set in stone, and which ones are subject to change?
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). The utilization of client link is:
