Q14.
A and B are the only two stations on an Ethernet. Each has a steady queue of frames to send. Both A and B attempt to transmit a frame, collide, and A wins the first backoff race. At the end of this successful transmission by A, both A and B attempt to transmit and collide. The probability that A wins the second backoff race is:

b.

0.625

c.

0.75

a.

50 bytes

b.

Q16.
Host A is sending data to host B over a full duplex link. A and B are using the sliding window protocol for flow control. The send and receive window sizes are 5 packets each. Data packets (sent only from A to B) are all 1000 bytes long and the transmission time for such a packet is 50 µs. Acknowledgement packets (sent only from B to A) are very small and require negligible transmission time. The propagation delay over the link is 200 us. What is the maximum achievable throughput in this communication?

a.

7.69 × 10^6 bytes per second

b.

11.11 × 10^6 bytes per second

Discuss
Answer: (b).11.11 × 10^6 bytes per second
Q17.
In serial data transmission, every byte of data is padded with a ‘0’ in the beginning and one or two ‘I’ s at the end of byte because

a.

Receiver is to be synchronized for byte reception

b.

Receiver recovers lost ‘0’ and ‘1’s from these padded bits

c.

Padded bits are useful in parity computation

d.

None of these

Discuss
Answer: (a).Receiver is to be synchronized for byte reception
Q18.
Consider a LAN with four nodes S1, S2, S3 and S4. Time is divided into fixed-size slots, and a node can begin its transmission only at the beginning of a slot. A collision is said to have occurred if more than one node transmit in the same slot. The probabilities of generation of a frame in a time slot by S1, S2, S3 and S4 are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4, respectively. The probability of sending a frame in the first slot without any collision by any of these four stations is _________.

a.

0.462

b.

0.711

c.

0.5

d.

0.652

Discuss
Answer: (a).0.462
