Suppose host A is sending a large file to host B over a TCP connection. The two end hosts are 10 msec apart (20 msec RTT) connected by a 1 Gbps link. Assume that they are using a packet size of 1000 bytes to transmit the file. For simplicity, ignore ack packets. At least how big would the window size (in packets) have be for the channel utilization to be greater than 80%?

Suppose Host A wants to send a large 8 million bytes of file to Host B. The path from Host A to Host B has three links, of rates R1 = 1.5 Mbps, R2 = 2 Mbps, and R3 = 1 Mbps. Assuming no other traffic in the network. Roughly how long will it take to transfer the file to Host B?
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.

Consider 2 hosts, Host A and Host B, transmitting a large file to a Server C over a bottleneck link with a rate of R kbps. To transfer the file, the hosts use TCP with the same parameters (including MSS and RTT) and start their transmission at the same time. Host A uses a single TCP connection for the entire file, while Host B uses 9 simultaneous TCP connections, each for a portion (i.e. a chunk) of the file. Describe the relative transmission rates achieved by each host at the beginning of the file transfer?
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?
Host A is sending an enormous file to Host B over a TCP connection. Over this connection there is never any packet loss and the timers never expire. Denote the transmission rate of the link connecting Host A to the Internet by R bps. Suppose that the process in Host A is capable of sending data into its TCP socket at a rate S bps, where S=10·R. Further suppose that the TCP receive buffer is large enough to hold the entire file, and the send buffer can hold only one percent of the file. What would prevent the process in Host A from continuously passing data to its TCP socket at rate S bps? TCP flow control? TCP congestion control? Or something else? Elaborate.
suppose two hosts, A and B, are separated by 20,000 kilometers and are connected by a direct link of R = 2 Mbps. Suppose the propagation speed over the link is 2.5 x 108 meters/sec. 1. Calculate the bandwidth-delay product, R x dprop. 2. Consider sending a file of 800, 000 bits from Host A to Host B. Suppose the file is sent continuously as one large message. What is the maximum number of bits that will be in the link at any given time? 3. Provide an interpretation of the bandwidth-delay product?
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
Host A and B are communicating over a TCP connection, and Host B has already received from A all bytes up through byte 126. Suppose Host A then sends two segments to Host B backto-back. The first and second segments contain 80 and 40 bytes of data, respectively. In the first segment, the sequence number is 127, the source port number is 302, and the destination port number is 80. Host B sends an acknowledgment whenever it receives a segment from Host A. d. Suppose the two segments sent by A arrive in order at B. The first acknowledgment is lost and the second acknowledgment arrives after the first timeout interval. Draw a timing diagram, showing these segments and all other segments and acknowledgments sent. (Assume there is no additional packet loss.) For each segment in your figure, provide the sequence number and the number of bytes of data; for each acknowledgment that you add, provide the acknowledgment number.
Suppose an HTML file references two very small objects on the same server (total 3 object including the HTML file). Neglecting transmission times, how much time elapses for all objects to be loaded/received in a non-persistent connection scenario. Assume that the round-trip delay is 10ms for each back and forth communication (even for establishing TCP connection)
