Network Midterm

This document contains a midterm exam for a Computer Networks course. It has three questions. Question 1 has multiple choice and true/false questions about network layer responsibilities, transport protocols, peer-to-peer file sharing, and efficiency of ARQ protocols. Question 2 involves drawing a message exchange using Go-Back-N ARQ and calculating end-to-end delay. Question 3 asks students to compare iterative vs recursive DNS and persistent vs non-persistent HTTP. The exam is out of 20 total marks and was administered on March 24, 2019.

Question 1 [5 Points]:
a- State whether statement is True or False [Correct the false statement] (3 points).

i. The Transport layer is responsible for routing while Network layer is


responsible for end to end delivery. -------------
ii. Web cache (cookie’s) increases the total delay for the network. -------------
iii. HTTP is used to pull data to a server, but SMTP is used to push data
to a server -------------
iv. Once peer downloaded the entire file, it must remain in the torrent to
participate in file upload for other peers. This is called churn. -------------
v. Go-back-N is more efficient than Selective Repeat protocol. -------------
vi. The time to distribute file F to N clients using client-server approach
Dc-s > max{F/us,,F/dmin,,NF/(us + Sui)} -------------

b- For each of the following statements, select the correct answer (2 points):

I. The following protocol is used to send email:


a. SMTP. c. IMAP.
b. HTTP. d. None of the above.

II. In Go-Back-N, if 3 is the number of bits for the sequence numbers, then the maximum size
of the send window must be:
a. 3 c. 15
b. 7 d. None of the above

III. Congestion control is the responsibility of


a. Application layer c. Transport layer
b. Network layer d. Data link layer.

1
Question 2 [10 Point]:
A- Draw the message exchange between the source and destination using Go-Back-N
for the following case: (5 points)
The window size is 3 and 2 bits are used for the sequence number. Sender A send
first a, b, c, d and e. packet c was lost during the transmission.

2

1. Physical Layer, 2. Datalink Layer, 3. Network Layer, 4. Transport layer, 5. Application Layer,
6. Port numbers, 7. IP address, 8. The HTTP header, 9. the message body, and 10. the URL path
