1. Define the layer protocol and the layer service. And please describe the three
protocols that you think are the most important in computer network
communication. What are they? Which is(are) used in the Internet?
ANSWER:
Layer protocol is a set of instructions (stages) in which the data packages follow to
complete and move to the next layer.
Layer service is what the current layer provides for the layer above it or before it
through a certain interface.
All protocols are important in the proper computer network communication. The
following are the three most important protocols I think in computer network
communication are internet protocol(IP), file transfer protocol(FTP) and hypertext
transfer protocol(HTTP). Internet protocol(IP) is the set of guidelines used to manage
the routing of data from one computer to another. File transfer protocol(FTP) is the
set of instructions or guidelines which are used when transferring files from the
server to the client computer. Hypertext transfer protocol(HTP) it is what helps and
enables communication between web browser and web server. All the protocols I’ve
mentioned are used in the internet.
2. Reliable transmission
(1) What are the essential components to realize reliable transmission?
a) Acknowledgements
b) Timeouts
(2) Suppose two computers are communicated via Stop-and-wait protocol. The
link bandwidth is 5kbps, and the one-way propagation delay is 20ms. To reach
80% or higher link utilization, what is the minimal frame size for this
communication?
Given –
Bandwidth =5kbps
Propagation delay= 20ms
Efficiency> =80%
Let the required frame size = L bits
Calculating transmission delay-
Transmission delay(Tt)
=packet size /bandwitdth
=L bits/5kbps
Calculating value of ‘a’
a= Tp/Tt
a=20ms/(L bits/5kbps)
a=(20ms*5kpbs)/L bits
Condition for efficiency to be at least 80%
For efficiency to be at least 80%, we must have-
1/1+2a>= 4/5
a<=4/5
substituting the value of ‘a’, we get-
(20ms x 5kpbs)/L bits<=4/5
L bits>=(20ms x 5kbps) x 2
L bits>=(20 x 10*-3sec x 5 x 10*3 bits per sec) x 2
L bits>= 20 x 5 bits x 2
L >=200 bits
(3) If it is upgraded to Sliding-Window protocol. To reach the same goal with (2),
what is the minimal window size, how many bits are required to describe the frame
sequence in window? (Suppose the frame size is 1 or 100Byte)
3. Briefly describe what is the difference between data link layer, network layer and
transport layer data transmission types? What is the difference between its data
format and addressing mode?
4. Router
(1) Somebody says that, ``the only difference between switch and router is that they
do switch function based on the address in different layers.’’ Is it correct? Why?
(2) If we obtain the following information from one router. What kind of routing
protocol does it use? Provide its routing table, and the inferred local topology around
it.
Router#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, B - BGP
O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default
Gateway of last resort is no set
C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet 0/4
C 192.168.1.2/32 is local host.
C 192.168.2.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet 0/6
C 192.168.2.1/32 is local host.
R 192.168.10.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.1.1, 00:12:52, FastEthernet 0/4
R 192.168.30.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.2.2, 00:12:44, FastEthernet 0/6
5.TCP (1) Somebody says that, ``because of the reliable transmission service in layer
2, there is no need to provide such service again within TCP protocol in layer 4’’. Is it
correct? Why?
(2) State the main rules of TCP connection setup according to the following figure.
Explain every word and number in the figure.
6.In the TCP/IP protocol, why use port number, socket address?
7.What protocols are included in the network layer of the TCP/IP model? What are its
three basic tasks?
ARP
RARP
ICMP-it is a protocol used to detect and report the network and communication
problems
IGMP
