- Q. Suppose if you have created a new company called "YourName Branch". How do people get IP address of your company Web site?
- Chap1 - Review Questions:
- 5) Suppose that between a sending host and a receiving host there is exactly one packet switch. The
- transmission rates between the sending host and the switch and between the switch and the receiving
- host are R1 and R2, respectively. Assuming that the router uses store-and-forward packet switching, whais the total end-to-end delay to send a packet of length L. (Ignore queuing and propagation delay.)
- 7) What is meant by connection state information in a virtual-circuit network?
- 14) Review the car-caravan analogy in Section 1.6. Again assume a propagation speed of 100km/hour.
- a) Suppose the caravan travels 200 km, beginning in front of one toll booth, passing through a
- second toll booth, and finishing just before a third toll booth. What is the end-to-end delay?
- b) Repeat (a), now assuming that there are 7 cars in the caravan instead of 10.
- Chap1 - Problems:
- 3)
- Consider sending a file of F = M *L bits over a path of Q links. Each link transmits at R bps. The
- network is lightly loaded so that there are no queueing delays. When a form of packet switching is used,
- the M * L bits are broken up into M packets, each packet with L bits. Propagation delay is negligible.
- a) Suppose the network is a packet-switched virtual-circuit network. Denote the VC set-up time
- by ts seconds. Suppose to each packet the sending layers add a total of hbits of header. How long
- does it take to send the file from source to destination?
- b) Suppose the network is a packet-switched datagram network, and a connectionless service is
- used. Now suppose each packet has 2h bits of header. How long does it take to send the file?
- c) Repeat (b), but assume message switching is used (i.e., 2hbits are added to the message, and
- the message is not segmented).
- d) Finally, suppose that the network is a circuit switched network. Further suppose that the
- transmission rate of the circuit between source and destination is Rbps. Assuming tsset-up time
- and hbits of header appended to the entire file, how long does it take to send the file?
- 4)
- Experiment with the message-switching Java applet in this chapter. Do the delays in the applet
- correspond to the delays in the previous question? How do link propagation delays effect the the overall
- end-to-end delay for packet switching and for message switching?
- Chap2 - Review Quesions:
- 6) What is meant by a handshaking protocol?
- 9) What is the difference between persistent HTTP with pipelining and persistent HTTP without
- pipelining? Which of the two is used by HTTP/1.1?
- 11) Why is it said that FTP sends control information "out of band"?
- 13) Suppose that you send an e-mail message whose only data is a Microsoft Excel attachment. What
- might the header lines (including MIME lines) look like?
- 14) Print out the header of a message that you have recently received. How many Recieved: header
- lines are there? Analyze each of the header lines in the message.
- 16) Redraw Figure 2.5-4 for when all queries from the local nameserver are iterative.
- 19) Use nslookup to find a Web server that has multiple IP addresses. Does the Web server of your
- institution (school, company, etc.) have multiple IP addresses?
