ssume a system uses five protocol layers. If the application program creates a message of 100 bytes and each layer (including the fifth and the first) adds a header of 10 bytes to the data unit, what is the efficiency (the ratio of application layer bytes to the number of bytes transmitted) of the system?

please answer with proper explanation and step by step solution. Question: Consider a fictional six-layer protocol hierarchy where layer 1 is the lowest layer, and layer 6 is the highest layer. Therefore, an application sends a message M by passing it to layer 6. All the even-numbered layers attach a trailer Ti (i = 2, 4, 6) to their payload, and all the odd-numbered layers attach a header Hi (i = 1, 3, 5) to their payload. Draw the headers, trailers, and original message M in the order they are sent out.
A network system has 5 protocol layers. Applications generate messages of length M bytes. At each of the layers, an h-byte header is added. What fraction of the network bandwidth is filled with headers? a. 5h/(5h+M) b. M/(5h+M) c. M/(4h+M) d. 4h/(4h+M)
In the Internet protocol stack, what are the different layers? In what ways does each of these levels contribute to the overall success of the organization? An Internet router is responsible for processing the following levels of the Internet protocol stack:
The TCP/IP Internet protocol stack is composed of five layers. How are they referred to? Is each layer in this system assigned a main function? What kind of material is used to encapsulate segments of a transport layer? the network layer of a datagram? Perhaps in a frame for a connection layer?
State two advantages of dividing a communication system into layers such as e.g. is done in the TCP / IP stack with 5 layers from the application layer down to the physical layer. Also indicate if there is any possible disadvantage to stocking one communication system?
For what reason does the transport layer offer the network layer the ability to packetize data? What issue exists at the transport layer if segments require datagram encapsulation to be transmitted?
What are the differences between the various sliding window protocols used in the data connection layer?
