An IP address can be written as a 32-bit number. For a class B network, the two most significant bits are set to 10. The 16 most signi cant bits are used as a network ID, and the 16 least signi cant bits are used as a host ID. However, the host ID cannot be all 0's or all 1's. How many hosts (i.e., host IDs) can there be on a class B network?

It is necessary to investigate connectionless protocols as a potential substitute for connection-based protocols.
A file of size 20 KiloBytes is transmitted to a destination over a 10 Megabit/s network link (1 Mega = 10^6, 1 Kilo = 10^3, 1 byte = 8 bits). The propagation delay to the destination is 40 milliseconds (1 milli = 10^−3). Assume the queueing delay encountered by packets of the file is negligible. What is the total delay (in milliseconds) for the file to get to its destination?
Assume that there is a shared connection (for example, an Ethernet bus) with a speed of 1 Mbps. How much time (in microseconds) is required to send a frame with a length of 1000 bits over this link?
What precisely does an IP address (Internet protocol) represent? The usage of mnemonic addresses Is the number of domains that a 32-bit representation can store constrained? If yes, how many devices may be connected to a domain simultaneously?
Please solve it correctly and please provide explanation of your answers. Please answer parts g, h and i. A PC and a Web Server are communicating over a TCP connection. The PC had started the three way handshake with the initial sequence number of 3069 . The Web Server's initial sequence number is 4830 . The window size of the PC is 815 bytes and the window size of the Web Server is 463 bytes. Using the third TCP handshake ack segment the PC sends the http request of the size 396 bytes to the Web Server. Then the Web Server answers with 3 segments containing the requested data. The first segment size is 42 bytes and the second segment size is 276 bytes and the third segment size is 146 bytes respectively. The PC receives all three segments within the timer. But unfortunately the second segment was corrupted. So the PC immediately sends an acknowledgement segment. Assume that the PC uses Selective Repeat/Reject ARQ. g) The second segment from webserver was corrupted. So the PC…
A TCP connection is established through 10 wireless hops in an acoustic underwater ad hoc network. Assume that each hop is 100 meter in the average, acoustic signals travel 1500 meter per second, 10 kilobit data can be sent per second over a link, the source node has one megabyte of data to send, the receiver window size is 64 kilobytes, the maximum segment size is 1 kilobyte and the average processing delay for routing at each node is one millisecond. Assume also that the following segments do not reach the destination: 67, 112, 137. What would be the average utilization of the links for this connection if there is not another communications through them? Explain an alternative approach to increase the bandwidth utilization?
In a bit-oriented link-layer protocol, the start and end of a frame are each marked by a flag, which is a sequence of exactly 6 consecutive 1 bits. Bit stuffing is used during the rest of the frame: after sending 5 consecutive 1 bits, a 0 is added. The bits below contain an example frame, with the leftmost bit received first. The content of the frame is a sequence of bytes, sent most significant bit first. Put the values of the first four bytes of the frame content, in order, in the four answer boxes below. You may enter the values in either decimal (e.g. 76, 123) or hexadecimal (e.g. 2a, f7). 00101011111010001111110011100111110000111101111101010110100010010011111101101100100 57−240−123−229
Distinguish the benefits and drawbacks of using connectionless protocols versus connection-based protocols.
An evaluation of TCP and UDP Give two instances of applications where, in your position as a software architect, you would prefer to use TCP over UDP.
9.Correct expression tor UDP user datagram length is length of UDP = length of IP- length of IP header's length of UDP= length of UDP-length of UDP header's length of UDP = length of IP+length of IP header's length of UDP = length of UDP+length of UDP header's.
Where can we even begin to define what an IP address is? What do mnemonic addresses provide for? How many domains can a 32-bit representation hold? Is there a hard limit to how many machines may be part of a domain?
Both UDP and TCP use port numbers to identify the destination entity when delivering a message. Give two reasons for why these protocols invented a new abstract ID (port numbers), instead of using process IDs, which already existed when these protocols were designed.
