Consider two systems P and Q connected via a router R with the bandwidth of 2 Gbps. The length of the packet is 1000 bytes. The propagation delay between P and Q is 200 microseconds. The distance between the P and R is 10 km while the distance between R and Q is 5 km. The propagation speed in meter per second if each link is having the same 10³ km/s? propagation speed is
Consider two hosts, A and B that are connected by a transmissions link of2.1 Mbps. Assume that packets are of length 2.0 Kb (Kilobits) and the length of the link is 100Km. a. What is the propagation delay from A to B, that is the amount of time from when the first bit of the packet is transmitted at A, until it is received at B? b. What is the transmission time of the packet at A (the time from when the first bit of the packet is sent into the wire and the time at which the last bit is sent into the wire). c. Suppose now that that length of the link is doubled. What is the propagation delay from A to B now and what is the transmission time? d. Now suppose that node C is connected to node B also by a 2 Mbps, 100 Km link. How long does it take from when the first bit is transmitted by A to when the last bit is received at C, assuming B operates in a store-and -forward manner?
Consider a network connecting two systems located 4000 kilometers apart. The bandwidth of the network is 500 x Mbps. The propagation speed of the media is 4 × 106 meters per second. It is needed to design a Go-Back-N sliding window protocol for this network. The average packet size is 107 bits. The network is to be used to its full capacity. Assume that processing delays at nodes are negligible. What is the minimum size in bits of the sequence number field?
