Consider the switch shown below. Suppose that all datagrams have the same fixed length, that the switch operates in a slotted, synchronous manner, and that in one time slot a datagram can be transferred from an input port to an output port. The switch fabric is a crossbar so that at most one datagram can be transferred to a given output port in a time slot, but different output ports can receive datagrams from different input ports in a single time slot. What is the minimal number of time slots needed to transfer the packets shown from input ports to their output ports, assuming any input queue scheduling order you want (i.e., it need not have HOL blocking)? What is the largest number of slots needed, assuming the worst-case scheduling order you can devise, assuming that a non-empty input queue is never idle? Output port X → Switch fabric Output port Y → z Y Output port Z →

In an RPC-like protocol, many requests can be active at the same time, and responses can be sent in any order: Assume that requests are sequentially numbered and that ACK[N] acknowledges reply[N]. Should ACKs be added up? If not, what should happen if an ACK is not received?
Write a program to simulate the behavior of the CSMA/CD protocol over Ethernet when ther are N stations ready to transmit while a frame is being transmitted. Your program should report the times when each station successfully starts sending its frame. Assume that a clock tick occurs every slot time (51.2 microsec) and a collison detection and sending of a jamming sequence takes one slot time. All frames are the maximum length allowed.
Can you describe the differences between asynchronous, synchronous, and isochronous connections and provide some instances of each? Can you also address whether or not there is a significant difference between these connections?
The minimum number of columns in a datagram network is two; the minimumnumber of columns in a virtual-circuit network is four. Can you explain thereason? Is the difference related to the type of addresses carried in the packetsof each network?
Most IP datagram reassembly algorithms have a timer to avoid having a lost fragment tie up reassembly buffers forever. Suppose that a datagram is fragmented into four fragments. The first three fragments arrive, but the last one is delayed. Eventually, the timer goes off and the three fragments in the receiver's memory are discarded. A little later, the last fragment stumbles in. What should be done with it?
Is that so, or not? Consider a TCP connection where the most recent SampleRTT was 1 second. It is recommended that the TimeoutInterval be set to more than one second.
Can you provide instances of asynchronous, synchronous, and isochronous connections and analyze if there is a big difference between them?
If there is wide variation in the TCP segment size , it is natural to organize the buffers as a pool of fixed-sized buffers, with one segment per buffer TRUE OR FALSE
Give an explanation of the differences and connections between the serial schedule and the serializable schedule.
Can you provide instances of asynchronous, synchronous, and isochronous connections and explain whether or not there is a significant difference between them?
In an RPC-like protocol, where numerous requests can be active at the same time and responses can be given in any sequence, the following is possible: Pretend requests are sequentially numbered, and that ACK[N] confirms the receipt of reply[N]. Should the number of ACKs be cumulative? If not, what should happen in the event that an ACK is not received?
