Consider a client and server using an RPC mechanism that includes a channel abstraction and boot IDs. (a) Give a scenario involving server reboot in which an RPC request is sent twice by the client and is executed twice by the server, with only a single ACK. (b) How might the client become aware this had happened? Would the client be sure it had happened?

Two processes CLT and SRV are involved in remote invocation with CLT acting as the client,while SRV acts as the server.(a) Highlight the underlying request-reply protocol using its primitives. (b) The request issued by C was not replied to on time. Explain the steps taken by bothprocessesusing the at-least-once semantics.(c) Explain the steps taken by both processes using the exactly-once semantics when CLT does not receive the response.
Instead of letting a server register itself with a daemon as in DCE, we could also choose to always assign it the same endpoint. That endpoint can then be used in references to objects in the server's address space. What is the main drawback of this scheme?
With asynchronous RPCs, a client is blocked until its request has been accepted by the server. To what extent do failures affect the semantics of asyn- chronous RPCs?
Build a scenario of context switches that includes two threads and permit to enter a critical sectionsecured by a single mutex semaphore as a result of a lack of atomicity.
Develop a simulation program to simulate an 8-port Ethernet switch. The switch initially has no knowledge about the hosts connected to each port. It learns frame addresses and stores-and- forwards the frames. The input text file "in.txt" contains information of the incoming frames, one frame per line. There are 4 pieces of data per line: frame ID, arrival port, frame source address, and frame destination address. The frames arrive at the switch in the order of which they appear in the input file. Destination address "X" indicates a broadcast frame. The output text file "out.txt" has 8 lines. Each line lists all the frames departing from each port, here is an example: "in.txt" contains 5 incoming frames: F1 P2 B--A F2 P6 D--C F3 P5 E--B F4 P7 F--D F5 P6 D--X "out.txt" should list the departing frames on each port: P1: F1 F2 F5 P2: F2 F3 F5 P3: F1 F2 F5 P4: F1 F2 F5 P5: F1 F2 F5 P6: F1 F4 P7: F1 F2 F5 P8: F1 F2 F5 I
Someone once observed that "the difference between roles and groups is that a user can shift into and out of roles, whereas that user has a group identity (or identities) that are fixed throughout the session." Consider a system such as a System V-based UNIX system, in which a process can have exactly one group identity. To change groups, users must execute thenewgrpcommand. Do these groups differ from roles? Why or why not?

Consider the parameter A used to define the working-set window in the working-set model. What is the effect of setting A to a small value on the page fault frequency and the number of active (non-suspended) processes currently executing in the system? What is the effect when A is set to a very high value?
One of the problems with the Internet email system is that sending forged emails is relatively straightforward, i.e., it is easy to send an email with a fake sender/from address. One solution to this problem would be for a domain’s mail servers to digitally sign any email originating from the domain. For this to be useful, the public key would need to be made available to clients to validate the signatures. It is proposed that the public keys of the mail servers will be verified and signed by a certification authority (same as SSL/TLS certificates) and distributed via a standardised URL for the domain, e.g., https://mybusiness.com/email.pubkey. (a) Explain how the client would obtain the public key and validate the email server’s digital signatures. (b) Discuss the problem of trusting the obtained public key and how this solution results in public keys that can/cannot be trusted. (c) Indicate whether you believe this approach could be used to prevent forged emails and explain why it…
Using Java sockets, implement the Remote Procedure Call (RPC). Consider the following requirements: 1. RPC contains multiple clients(with stubs), one Binder, multiple servers (with stubs). 2. Apply the RPC on any function with your choice.
Suppose there are four processes (P1 - P4) with respective arrival times of 0, 10, 30, and 40, and burst times of 30, 20, 50, and 20 ms. These processes are scheduled from a ready queue on first come first served. The average waiting time is?
