Section – I
Q.1 (A) Answer the following questions (Any Five) [05]
1,2
U
1 When troubleshooting computer network problems, what common hardware-
related problems can occur?
2 What is meant by 127.0.0.1 and localhost?
3 Define Static IP and Dynamic IP?
4 What is the use of a default gateway?
5 Assume five devices are arranged in a mesh topology. How many cables are
needed? How many ports are needed for each device?
6 Performance is inversely related to delay. When you use the Internet, which of
the following applications are more sensitive to delay?
a. Sending an e-mail
b. Copying a file
c. Surfing the Internet
(B) What is the difference between Hub, Switch, and Router? [02]
2R
(C) A sender uses the Stop-and-Wait ARQ protocol for reliable transmission of [03]
frames. Frames are of size 2000 bytes and the transmission rate at the sender is 1,2
40 Kbps (1Kbps = 1000 bits/second). Size of an acknowledgement is 100 bytes U
and the transmission rate at the receiver is 8 Kbps. The one-way propagation
delay is 50 milliseconds. Assuming no frame is lost, What will be the sender
throughput in bytes/second?
Q2 (A) Compare and contrast byte-stuffing and bit-stuffing. Which technique is used in [03]
byte-oriented protocols? Which technique is used in bit-oriented protocols? 1,2
A bit-stuffing based framing protocol uses an 8-bit delimiter pattern of U
Page 1 of 2
01111110. If the output bit-string after stuffing is 01111100101, then What will
be input bit-string ?
(B) Station A uses 64 byte packets to transmit messages to Station B using a sliding [03]
window protocol. The round trip delay between A and B is 40 milliseconds and 1,2
the bottleneck bandwidth on the path between A and B is 256 kbps. What is the A
optimal window size that A should use?
(C) If you are assigned to design a LAN for BVM Campus having 7 departments. [04]
Each department will have 80 computers locating in 4 rooms each equipped 1,2
with 20 computers. Make your own justification while selecting connecting U
devices and accessories.
Q3 (A) Differentiate between random and slotted ALOHA. [03]
2R

Answer the following:
1) Find the checksum at the sender site.
2) Find the checksum at the receiver site if there is no error.
(B) Explain the reason for moving from the Stop-and-Wait ARQ Protocol to the GO [03]
Back-N ARQ Protocol. 2,4
Also Compare and contrast the Go-Back-NARQ Protocol with Selective-Repeat U
ARQ.
OR OR OR
