connectionless acknowledged service. How do the protocols that provide these services
differ?
Câu 2. Explain the difference between connection-oriented acknowledged service and

Câu 4:
A 1.5 Mbps communications link is to use HDLC to transmit information to the moon.
What is the smallest possible frame size that allows continuous transmission? The
distance between earth and the moon is approximately 375,000 km, and the speed of light
is 3 x 108 meters/second.
Câu 5: Suppose HDLC is used over a 1.5 Mbps geostationary satellite link. Suppose that
250-byte frames are used in the data link control. What is the maximum rate at which
information can be transmitted over the link?

Câu 6:
Suppose that a multiplexer receives constant-length packet from N = 60 data sources.
Each data source has a probability p = 0.1 of having a packet in a given T-second period.
Suppose that the multiplexer has one line in which it can transmit eight packets every T
seconds. It also has a second line where it directs any packets that cannot be transmitted
in the first line in a T-second period. Find the average number of packets that are
transmitted on the first line and the average number of packets that are transmitted in the
second line.

Câu 7:
Consider the transfer of a single real-time telephone voice signal across a packet network.
Suppose that each voice sample should not be delayed by more than 20 ms.
a. Discuss which of the following adaptation functions are relevant to meeting the
requirements of this transfer: handling of arbitrary message size; reliability and
sequencing; pacing and flow control; timing; addressing; and privacy, integrity
and authentication.
b. Compare a hop-by-hop approach to an end-to-end approach to meeting the
requirements of the voice signal.
Câu 8:
Consider the Stop-and-Wait protocol as described. Suppose that the protocol is modified
so that each time a frame is found in error at either the sender or receiver, the last
transmitted frame is immediately resent.

a. Show that the protocol still operates correctly.

b. Does the state transition diagram need to be modified to describe the new
operation?
c. What is the main effect of introducing the immediate-retransmission feature?
Câu 9:
Suppose that two peer-to-peer processes provide a service that involves the transfer of
discrete messages. Suppose that the peer processes are allowed to exchange PDUs that
have a maximum size of M bytes including H bytes of header. Suppose that a PDU is not
allowed to carry information from more than one message.
Câu 10:
A 1 Mbyte file is to be transmitted over a 1 Mbps communication line that has a bit error
rate of p = 10-6.
a. What is the probability that the entire file is transmitted without errorsWe
conclude that it is extremely unlikely that the file will arrive error free.
b. The file is broken up into N equal-sized blocks that are transmitted separately.
What is the probability that all the blocks arrive correctly without error? Does
dividing the file into blocks help?
c. Suppose the propagation delay is negligible, explain how Stop-and-Wait ARQ can
help deliver the file in error-free form. On the average how long does it take to
deliver the file if the ARQ transmits the entire file each time?

Câu 11:

In this activity, you are given the network address of 192.168.100.0/24 to subnet and
provide the IP addressing for the Packet Tracer network. Each LAN in the network
requires at least 25 addresses for end devices, the switch and the router. The
connection between R1 to R2 will require an IP address for each end of the link.

a. Based on the topology, how many subnets are needed?

b. How many bits must be borrowed to support the number of subnets in the topology
table?
c. How many subnets does this create?
d. How many usable hosts does this create per subnet?

Câu 12:

Five stations (S1-S5) are connected to an extended LAN through transparent bridges (B1-
B2), as shown in the following figure. Initially, the forwarding tables are empty. Suppose
the following stations transmit frames: S1 transmits to S5, S3 transmit to S2, S4 transmits
to S3, S2 transmits to S1, and S5 transmits to S4. Fill in the forwarding tables with
appropriate entries after the frames have been completely transmitted.

You are a network technician assigned to install a new network for a customer. You
must create multiple subnets out of the 192.168.12.0/24 network address space to
meet the following requirements:
- The first subnet is the LAN-A network. You need a minimum of 50 host IP
addresses.
 - The second subnet is the LAN-B network. You need a minimum of 40 host
IP addresses.
- You also need at least two additional unused subnets for future network
expansion.
Note: Variable length subnet masks will not be used. All of the device subnet masks
should be the same length.
Answer the following questions to help create a subnetting scheme that meets the stated
network requirements:

a. How many host addresses are needed in the largest required subnet?
b. What is the minimum number of subnets required?
c. The network that you are tasked to subnet is 192.168.12.0/24. What is the /24
subnet mask in binary?
d. The subnet mask is made up of two portions, the network portion, and the host
portion. This is represented in the binary by the ones and the zeros in the subnet
mask.
Questions:
In the network mask, what do the ones and zeros represent?

e. When you have determined which subnet mask meets all of the stated network
requirements, derive each of the subnets. List the subnets from first to last in the
table. Remember that the first subnet is 192.168.12.0 with the chosen subnet mask.

Suppose that Selective Repeat ARQ is modified so that ACK messages contain a list of
the next m frames that it expects to receive.
