The path of a packet is defined by source and destination addresses in a connectionless system like Ethernet.A connection-oriented protocol, such as ATM, however, uses virtual connection identifiers to specify a cell's route (VPIs and VCIs). Could you please elaborate on this statement?
Suppose, we have a network which is consists of two layer-2 switch, one layer-3
switch and two end devices. If we want to transfer data from this network to another
established network which is consists of router, switch and end devices, can it be
possible? Explain

- The Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is a transport layer protocol that provides full duplex, connection-oriented, and reliable delivery services. When we say connection-oriented, reliable delivery, and full duplex, what exactly do we mean? What are connection-oriented, dependable delivery, and full duplex mean?arrow_forwardIn the case of Ethernet, there is no centralised control node, hence a single node's failure will not bring down the whole network. Nevertheless, can you see any advantages to having one node control the whole network and decide who gets messages and who waits for them? Explain.arrow_forwardImagine you are the network administrator of University X having N campuses in Towson, Maryland. You want to build a connected network of servers (each server is either a regular or a routing one), one at each campus, and want to choose some of them to be the designated routing servers. A routing server will serve regular servers who connect directly to it via high speed cables, and every regular server must connect to at least one routing server. Your goal is to minimize the total length of high-speed cable that you must purchase. Given the geographic locations of the N campuses, design a plan that requires (1) the shortest length of cable and (2) the least number of routing servers. Analyze the time and space complexity of your procedure.arrow_forward
- The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a transport layer protocol that provides full duplex, connection-oriented, and reliable delivery services. When we talk about full duplex, reliable delivery, and a focus on connections, what do we mean? In what ways are connections prioritized, and what exactly is meant by "reliable delivery" and "full duplex"?arrow_forwardA factor in the delay of a store-and-forward packet-switching system is how long it takes to store and forward a packet through a switch. If switching time is 10 usec, is this likely to be a major factor in the response of a client-server system where the client is in New York and the server is in California? Assume the propagation speed in copper and fiber to be 2/3 the speed of light in vacuum.arrow_forwardExplain why a TCP segment timeout that is too short contributes to overall network congestion. What is the drawback of using a timeout value that is too long ? Explain in detail with steps and digrams with a long description and elaboration.arrow_forward
- Because Ethernet is a distributed local area network protocol, there is no centralised control node; as a result, the loss of a single node will never put the whole network to a halt. However, do you believe there would be any benefit to creating a centralised local area network (LAN), in which a single node would be in control of the whole network and decide who would wait and who would get messages? Explain.arrow_forwardWrite all the configurations for the L3 Switch Inter-VLAN so that there will be a successful connectivity between PC3 and PC4, assuming L2 switches are configure correctly in the topology below,arrow_forward. A stage of an n x n banyan network consists of (n/2) 2 × 2 switching elements. The first stage directs packets to the correct half of the network, the next stage to the correct quarter, and so on, until the packet is routed to the correct output. Derive an expression for the number of 2 × 2 switching elements needed to make an n × n banyan network. Verify your answer for n = 8.arrow_forward
- A packet switch receives a packet and determines the outbound link to which the packet should be forwarded. When the packet arrives, one other packet is halfway done being transmitted on this outbound link and four other packets are waiting to be transmitted. Packets are transmitted in order of arrival. Suppose all packets are 1,200 bytes and the link rate is 2 Mbps. What is the queuing delay for the packet? More generally, what is the queuing delay when all packets have length L, the transmission rate is R, x bits of the currently-being-transmitted packet have been transmitted, and n packets are already in the queue?arrow_forwardThe Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a transport layer protocol that provides full duplex, connection-oriented, and reliable delivery services. When we talk about full duplex, reliable delivery, and a focus on connections, what do we mean? So, what exactly do we mean when we talk about connections, resiliency in delivery, and full duplex?arrow_forwardYou are asked to design a MAC protocol for an access network where N nodes generate data continuously at a constant rate, at x bits/sec per node. Additionally, the traffic aggregated over the nodes is less than but close to the access network total capacity. Would you choose a channel partitioning or random access protocol? Assume if you choose channel partitioning, the channel will be divided into N sub channelsarrow_forward
