Visit the Queuing and Loss applet at the companion Web site. What is the maximum emission rate and the minimum transmission rate? With those rates, what is the traffic intensity? Run the applet with these rates and determine how long it takes for packet loss to occur. Then repeat the experiment a second time and determine again how long it takes for packet loss to occur. Are the values different? Why or why not?

How long does it take a packet of length 1,000 bytes to propagate over a link of distance 2,500 km, propagation speed 25.125 m/s, and transmission rate 2 Mbps? More generally, how long does it take a packet of length L to propagate over a link of distance d, propagation speed s, and transmission rate R bps? Does this delay depend on packet length? Does this delay depend on transmission rate?
How long does it take a packet of length 1,000 bytes to propagate over a link of distance 5,000 km, propagation speed of 2.5 x 108 m/s, transmission rate 1 Mbps? Generally, how long does it take a packet of length L to propagate over a link of distance d, propagation speed s, and transmission rate R bps? Does this delay depend on packet length? Does this delay depend on transmission rate?
As a network engineer. what would be your conclusion of what a least cost algorithm serves With regards to packet transmission? Hint: Think about hops and paths.
or circuit-switching be more desirable in this case? Why? Suppose that all of network sources are bursty-that they only occasionally have data to send. Would packet-switching or circuit switching be more desirable in this case? Why?
Suppose users share a 2 Mbps link. Also suppose each user transmits continuously at 1 Mbps when transmitting, but each user transmits only 20 percent of the time. a. When circuit switching is used, how many users can be supported? b. For the remainder of this problem, suppose packet switching is used. Why will there be essentially no queuing delay before the link if two or fewer users transmit at the same time? Why will there be a queuing delay if three users transmit at the same time? c. Find the probability that a given user is transmitting. d. Suppose now there are three users. Find the probability that at any given time, all three users are transmitting simultaneously. Find the fraction of time during which the queue grows.
To solve the problem of packet loss in transport, choose one technique and explain why it is the most effective. Timeouts, Sequence Numbers, and Acknowledgements are just few of the options available.
Assume each user has a 500 kilobit per second demand and uses the network only 25% of the time. How many users with a probability of at least 0.9 can we multiplex onto an 8 Mbps connection using packet switching? What benefit does statistical multiplexing provide in this case?
Question 4: Consider the figure below, with three links, each with the specified transmission rate and link length. Assume a packet length of 8000 bits is transmitted from host to destination. 1. Find the delay on each link for one packet. 2. Find the end to end (host to destination) delay for one packet Consider transmission delays and propagation delays but ignoring queuing delays and processing delays. Formulas: Transmission delay= Length of packet in bits / Transmission rate Propagation delay = distance between two nodes / 3 x 108 m/s Total delay at each link= Transmission delay + Propagation delay .
Assume that between a transmitting host and a receiving host, there is only one packet transfer. R1 and R2 are the transmission rates between the transmitting host and the switch, and R1 and R2 are the transmission rates between the switch and the receiving host, respectively. What is the total end-to-end delay for sending a packet of length L, assuming the switch uses store-and-forward packet switching? (Queuing, propagation, and transmission delays are all ignored.)
What precisely is meant by the term "routing," and how does it work? In this post, we will compare and contrast two different routing methods that are often employed.
Suppose 80 users share a packet switched 200Mbps link. Each user requires 10.0Mbps when transmitting, but each user transmits only 25 percent of the time. What is the probability that the link is congested? Provide four digits after the decimal point for the answer.
For what reason must the maximum packet lifetime include both the packet and its acknowledgements?
