Template on Blackboard via the allocated folder. These files must not be in compressed format.

 It is your responsibility to check and make sure that you have uploaded both the correct files.
 Zero mark will be given if you try to bypass the SafeAssign (e.g. misspell words, remove spaces
between words, hide characters, use different character sets, convert text into image or
languages other than English or any kind of manipulation).

 Email submission will not be accepted.

 You are advised to make your work clear and well-presented. This includes filling your
information on the cover page.

Answers:

Question 1:

The throughput of the communication medium can be calculated using the formula:

Throughput = Bandwidth / Capacity of Each Frame

Given:

 Bandwidth = 50 Mbps (50,000,000 bits per second)

 The Capacity of Each Frame = 250 bits

Substitute these values into the formula:

Throughput = 50,000,000 bits per second / 250 bits

Simplify the expression:

Throughput = 200,000 frames per second

Now, to find the throughput per day, use the following conversion:

Throughput per day=Throughput × 60 × 60 × 24

Substitute the calculated throughput value:

Throughput per day = 200,000 frames / second × 60 × 60 × 24

Calculate the result:

Throughput per day = 17,280,000,000 frames per day

Therefore, the throughput of the communication medium is 17,280,000,000 frames per day.

Question 2:

Given:

 Bandwidth = 3 Mbps (3,000,000 bits per second)

 Propagation Delay = 10 seconds

Communication channel (3Mbps bandwidth)
Explanation:

The propagation delay diagram illustrates the communication link between Sender (Ahmad) and Receiver

(Mohammad). The key details are as follows:

 The bandwidth of the channel is 3 Mbps.

 The propagation delay is 10 seconds.

The diagram itself is described as a straightforward line, representing the 10-second delay between the Sender

(Ahmad) and Receiver (Mohammad). This implies that it takes 10 seconds for data to traverse the communication

link from the sender to the receiver.

In a propagation delay diagram, the delay is often depicted as a linear line to show the time it takes for signals to

propagate through the medium (Liang et al., 2023). In this case, the 10-second delay is visually represented in the

diagram, emphasizing the time it takes for the signal to travel from the sender to the receiver.

As a network engineer, understanding propagation delay is crucial for optimizing communication performance and

ensuring timely and efficient data transmission in network systems.

Question 3:

As a network engineer tasked with creating a communication Link Layer Switch Model based on the provided

port numbers and IP addresses:

Explanation:

The communications Link Layer Switch Model is a device that connects multiple devices on a network. The

switch learns the MAC addresses of the connected devices and uses this information to forward data packets to the

correct destination (Yuan & Tan, 2021).
