Suppose host A is sending a large file to host B over a TCP connection. The two end hosts are 10 msec apart (20 msec RTT) connected by a 1 Gbps link. Assume that they are using a packet size of 1000 bytes to transmit the file. For simplicity, ignore ack packets. At least how big would the window size (in packets) have be for the channel utilization to be greater than 80%?

Suppose an extension of TCP allows window size much larger than 64 KB. Assume the extended TCP runs over a 100-Mbps link with RTT 100 ms, segment size is 1 KB, and receiving window size is 1 MB. How long does it take to send a 200 KB file?
In this problem, we consider sending real-time voice from Host A to Host B over a packet switched network (VoIP). Host A converts analog voice to a digital 64 kbps bit stream on the fly. Host A then groups the bits into 56-byte packets. There is one link between Hosts A and B; its transmission rate is 2 Mbps and its propagation delay is 10 msec. As soon as Host A gathers a packet, it sends it to Host B. As soon as Host B receives an entire packet, it converts the packet's bits to an analog signal. How much time elapses from the time a bit is created (from the original analog signal at Host A) until the bit is decoded (as part of the analog signal at Host B)?
In this problem, we consider sending real-time voice from Host A to Host B over a packet-switched network (VoIP). Host A converts analog voice to a digital 64 kbps bit stream on the fly. Host A then groups the bits into 56-byte packets and when a packet is formed, it is send to host B. There is one link between Hosts A and B; its transmission rate is 2 Mbps and its propagation delay is 10 msec. What's the elapsed time since when the first bit is formed (from the original analog signal at Host A) until the bit is received at host B?
2. Suppose a large file of size F bits is to be sent from host A to host B. There are two links and two routers on the path from A to B. The links are uncongested and the link propagation delays are negligible. Host A segments the file into segments of size S bits each and adds 60 bits of header to each segment, forming packets of size L = S+ 60 bits. Each link has a transmission rate of R bps. Find the value of S that minimizes the file transfer delay from host A to host B.
Consider a TCP connection betweek two hosts between A and B. The first data byte sent by A is numbered 1. The LastByteRcvd at B is 500. Then, the range of values SendBase at A may take is from to 500
TCP a. Consider two TCP connections, one between Hosts A (sender) and B (receiver), and another between Hosts C (sender) and D (receiver). The RTT between A and B is half that of the RTT between C and D. Suppose that the senders' (A's and C's) congestion window sizes are identical. Is their throughput (number of segments transmitted per second) the same? Explain. b. Now suppose that the average RTT between A and B, and C and D are identical. The RTT between A and B is constant (never varies), but the RTT between C and D varies considerably. Will the TCP timer values of the two connections differ, and if so, how are they different, and why are they different? Give one reason why TCP uses a three-way (SYN, SYNACK, ACK) handshake rather than a two-way handshake to initiate a connection. a.
Consider sending real-time data from Host A to Host B over a packet-switched network. Host A takes an 8-bit measurement every millisecond, and Host A collects these into 64-byte packets. There is one link between Hosts A and B; its transmission rate is 5 Mbps, its propagation delay is 2 × 108 meters/sec, and its length is 3 km. As soon as Host A gathers a packet, it sends the packet to Host B. How much time elapses from the time that Host A begins to take the first measurement in a packet until the entire packet reaches Host B?
Consider sending a 3500-byte datagram that has arrived at a router R₁ that needs to be sent over a link that has an MTU size of 1000 bytes to R2. Then it has to traverse a link with an MTU of 600 bytes. Let the identification number of the original datagram be 465. How many fragments are delivered at the destination? Show the parameters associated with each of these fragments.
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 the scenario below where 4 TCP senders are connected to 4 receivers. The servers transmit to the receiving hosts at the fastest rate possible (i.e., at the rate at which the bottleneck link between a server and its destination is operating at 100% utilization, and is fairly shared among the connections passing through that link). R =1 Gbps and Rc is 300 Mbps and Rs is 400 Mbps. And that all four senders have data to send, What is the minimum value of Re that will ensure that the connections to Host-1 and Host-2 are not bottlenecked at links with capacity Rc or Re?
Given a M/M/1 queue, which has packets arriving at a rate 2 packets/sec, an output link rate R bps, and an average packet size of 1500 bytes, write down: the expression for T, the average delay for a packet (i.e., from arrival till completing transmission at the output). b. the expression for the output utilization c. the expression for average number of packets in the queue d. the expression for average number of packets in the output NIC
Consider a simple protocol for transferring files over a link. After some initial negotiation, A sends data packets of size 1 KB to B; B then replies with an acknowledgment. A always waits for each ACK before sending the next data packet; this is known as stop-and-wait. Packets that are overdue are presumed lost and are retransmitted. (a) In the absence of any packet losses or duplications, explain why it is not necessary to include any "sequence number" data in the packet headers. (b) Suppose that the link can lose occasional packets, but that packets that do arrive always arrive in the order sent. Is a 2-bit sequence number (that is, N mod 4) enough for A and B to detect and resend any lost packets? Is a 1-bit sequence number enough? (c) Now suppose that the link can deliver out of order and that sometimes a packet can be delivered as much as 1 minute after subsequent packets. How does this change the sequence number requirements?
