Discuss
Answer: (b).12,000 bytes
Q33.
A 1Mbps satellite link connects two ground stations. The altitude of the satellite is 36,504 km and speed of the signal is 3 × 10^8 m/s. What should be the packet size for a channel utilization of 25% for a satellite link using go-back-127 sliding window protocol? Assume that the acknowledgment packets are negligible in size and that there are no errors during communication.
Discuss
Answer: (a).120 bytes
Q34.
The minimum frame size required for a CSMA/CD based computer network running at 1 Gbps on a 200m cable with a link speed of 2 × 10^8m/s is
Discuss
Answer: (b).250 bytes
Q35.
In an IPv4 datagram, the M bit is 0, the value of HLEN is 10, the value of total length is 400 and the fragment offset value is 300. The position of the datagram, the sequence numbers of the first and the last bytes of the payload, respectively are
Discuss
Answer: (c).Last fragment, 2400 and 2759
Q36.
Consider a source computer(S) transmitting a file of size 106 bits to a destination computer(D)over a network of two routers (R1 and R2) and three links(L1, L2, and L3). L1connects S to R1; L2 connects R1 to R2; and L3 connects R2 to D.Let each link be of length 100 km. Assume signals travel over each link at a speed of 108 meters per second.Assume that the link bandwidth on each link is 1Mbps. Let the file be broken down into 1000 packets each of size 1000 bits. Find the total sum of transmission and propagation delays in transmitting the file from S to D?
Discuss
Answer: (a).1005 ms
Q37.
One of the header fields in an IP datagram is the Time to Live(TTL)field.Which of the following statements best explains the need for this field?
Discuss
Answer: (d).It can be used to prevent packet looping
Discuss
Answer: (c).Prevent packets from looping indefinitely
Q39.
Consider the following three statements about link state and distance vector routing protocols, for a large network with 500 network nodes and 4000 links.

[S1] The computational overhead in link state protocols
is higher than in distance vector protocols.
[S2] A distance vector protocol (with split horizon)
avoids persistent routing loops, but not a link
state protocol.
[S3] After a topology change, a link state protocol
will converge faster than a distance vector
protocol.

Which one of the following is correct about S1, S2, and S3 ?
Discuss
Answer: (d).S1 and S3 are true, but S2 is false
Q40.
Which one of the following is TRUE about interior Gateway routing protocols - Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)?
Discuss
Answer: (a).RIP uses distance vector routing and OSPF uses link state routing
