CN Assignment 1

The document contains 11 questions about computer networking concepts including layered protocol implementations, Ethernet frame sizes, switch operation, collision domains, and the Point-to-Point Protocol. It asks the reader to analyze network topologies, trace packet movement, calculate overhead from headers, and differentiate aspects of wired and wireless networks like transmission speeds and media access control. The questions cover a wide range of foundational networking topics to test understanding of protocols, devices, and network design principles.

Assignment1 (Computer Notwork)

1: Consider a d-1ayer prot ocol impl ementation with application, TCP, IP


and Ethernet 1ayers i that order. Each layer requires a header except
Ethernet layer, which requires a trailer also. The application header is
16 bytes in length, TCP header 20 bytes, IP header 20 bytes, and let the
Ethernet header be 14 bytes, and the trailer 4 bytes. Answer following:
a) Sketch and label the layered
b) Sketch a packet for this syst em carefully showing and labeling
protocol model.
all fields.
c) Assume a maximum data field for an Ethernet frame of 1500
bytes. What 1s the overhead (in 8) for a 409bbyte appl1cationn
message?

2: Suggest the UTP cable connections if two computers are to be


connected (1) directly (11) through a hub.

3: Trace movement of a packet from application layer to the physical


layer. A system has an n-layer protocol hierarchy. Application generate
message of length m bytes. At each of the layer anh-byte header 1s
added. What fraction of the network bandwidth is filled with headers?

4: Design a tree topology for networking in four boys hostels (tilak,


patel malviya and tundon) and to connect them to computer centre
through student club. Estimate number of switches Ports on each
SWitch, type of ports (UTP or Fiber) on each switch, length of different
type of cables and position of switches. Consider max 20 rooms in each
hostel. Assume any missing information and state i t clearly.
5: HoW Switch is different from hub. show the mechanism ot
initialization of the table of a switch which connects 6 computers
A, B,C, D, E, F through 6 ports Pl, P2, P3, P4, 5 , P6 respectively. First packet
send is from A to F. T h i s packet will go to all ports or to port P6
only.
6: Differentiate between transmission speed and propagation speed over
the Internet.
7: Wired LAN uses cSMA/CD but wireless prerers CSMA/ CA, Comment.
8: A router with IP address 202.141.55.5 and Ethernet physical address
33445566 has received a packet for a host destination with IP address
202.141.55.25 and Ethernet physical address AA66BB77. Show the entries
in ARP request and response packet. Assume no subnetting.

A CSMA/CD network is using 100Mbps Ethernet NIC over a 500m cable


with no repeaters. The signal speed in the cable is 2*10 km/sec . What is
the minimum size of this Ethernet frame? Why is the minimum frame size
required? If we use 0TP cable and switch, do collis1on, takes place
between two stations? If yes why i f not why not?

10: In 802.3 suppose A, B, and C a l l makes their f i r s t carrier sense, as


part of an attempt to t r a n s m i t , while a fourth station D1s

transmitting. Draw atimeline showing one possible sequence of


transmissions and exponential back off choices. Your timeline should
aiso meet the criteria that initial transmission attempts should be 1n
the o r a e r A, B and C but s u c c e s s f u l t r a n s m i s s ion should be in the order
C, B, and A.

ll: Bxplain LCP, AP and NCP in PPP (point to point protocol) .
