A data channel at 5 Gbps is shared by two users. Assume that each user is transmitting at 2.5Gbps data rate continuously. Each user only transmits only 30% of the time. (a) If circuit switching is used, how many users can be supported? (b) If packet switching is used, would there be queuing delay to accommodate these two users? If a third identical user is added will there be a queuing delay? (c) What is the probability that a user is sending data? (d) Now assume three users under packet switching. Compute the probability that at any given time all three are transmitting at the same time. What is the fraction of time when the queue is growing?
What is the delay of sending a data file from a source station to a destination station? Suppose that the length of the data file is 2 Mbytes and the bandwidth of the channel is 1600 bps, and the network link between the sender and receiver is 20000 Km and the speed of the light inside the link is 2x108 meters/second? Assume that the delay is composed of only transmission time and propagation time.
True or False: [ ] Routing decision is always required for every packet of a message at each node in packet switched network. [ ] In OSI model data link layer provides for the reliable transfer of information across the physical link; sends blocks (frames) with the necessary synchronization, error control, and flow control [ ] Because the boundaries between layer are well defined change in standard in one layer effect already existing software in another layer; this makes it difficult to introduce new standard
Calculate the latency (from first bit sent to last bit received) for: (a) 1-Gbps Ethernet with a single store-and-forward switch in the path and a packet size of 5000 bits. Assume that each link introduces a propagation delay of 10 us and that the switch begins retransmitting immediately after it has finished receiving the packet. (b) Same as (a) but with three switches. (c) Same as (b), but assume the switch implements "cut- through" switching; it is able to begin retransmitting the packet after the first 128 bits have been received.
A 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.
Exercise 2. [Delay estimation] Adapt from Kurose 7th edition, chapter 1 problem P10,P11. Consider a packet of length L that begins at end system A and travels over three links to a destination end system. These three links are connected by two packet switches. Let d;, s;, and R; denote the length, propagation speed, and the transmission rate of link i, for i=1,2,3. The packet switch delays each packet by dproc. Assuming no queuing delays, in terms of d;, si, and Ri, (i=1,2,3), and L. 1. What is the total end-to-end delay for the packet? 2. Suppose now the packet is 2,500 bytes, the propagation speed on all three links is 2.5 * 10°m/s, the transmission rates of all three links are 2 Mbps, the packet switch processing delay is 4 msec, the length of the first link is 3,000 km, the length of the second link is 2,000 km, and the length of the last link is 1,000 km. For these values, what is the end-to-end delay? 3. In the above problem, suppose R1 = R2 = R3 = R and dproc = 0. Further…
Question 3:Consider a message that is 10 Mbits long that is to be sent from source to destination in Figure 1. Suppose each link is of 2Mbps. Only consider transmission delay, and Ignore, queuing, processing and propagation delay. Assume that the message is divided into 500 packets. a. How many bits are there in each packet? b. At what time the first packet will be received at first packet switch? c. At what time will the first packet will be received at Destination? d. At what time all the packets will be received at Destination?
Efficiency Principle:Ethernet V1 access protocol was designed to run at 10 Mbps over 2.5 Km using 1500 Byte packets. This same protocol needs to be used at 100 Mbps at the same efficiency (utilization). What distance can it cover if the frame size is not changed? (Note: be careful with the units.

Topic: Network Delay Assume two hosts, A and B, that are linked by a single link with a rate of R bps and are spaced m meters away from one another. A packet of size L bits is being sent from Host A to Host B. Suppose that the propagation through the connection is occurring at s meters/second. (Answer the following question while showing work) 1) When d-prop is bigger than d-trans, where is the packet's first bit at time t = d-trans? 2) At time t = d-trans, where d-prop is less than d-trans, where is the packet's first bit?

A packet of size L bits is being sent from Host A to Host B. Suppose that the propagation through the connection is occurring at s meters/second. (Answer the following question while showing work) 1) Give an explanation of the propagation delay, d prop, in terms of the separation between the two hosts and the link's propagation speed. 2) Give examples of how the packet size and link speed affect the transmission time of the packet, d trans.
(b) The Internet Protocol (IP) can sometimes surprise with its flexibility. Since the overall design is close enough to the principles of the OSI Protocol Model, IP is independent of the Data Link and Physical network layers. And some Norwegians indeed showed successful IP network transmission is possible with carrier pigeons. If we would want to attempt to use carrier pigeons to establish a TCP connection between Canterbury and London, how long would it take to successfully establish the transmission under perfect conditions? (Assume the pigeons are perfectly reliable.) Explain how you come to your result. (1)
