Suppose a switch is built using a computer workstation and that it can forward packets at a rate of 500,000 packets per second, regardless (within limits) of size. Assume the workstation uses direct memory access (DMA) to move data in and out of its main memory, which has a bandwidth of 2 Gbps, and that the I/O bus has a bandwidth of 1 Gbps. At what packet size would the bus bandwidth become the limiting factor?

Assume there is a shared connection with a 1 Mbps speed, such as an Ethernet bus. How long (in microseconds) does it take to deliver a frame with a 1000 bit length over this link?
Assume a shared connection of 1 Mbps (for example, an Ethernet bus). How long does it take (in microseconds) to transmit a 1000-bit frame over this connection?
Computer Science A Go-Back-N (GBN) ARQ scheme has been designed with window-size W = 10 such that it is fully efficient when there are no errors on the channel. Assume that frame size is 20000 bits and the overhead bits are negligible. What is the bit probability error (as seen at Layer 2) that makes the Go-Back-N ARQ 50% efficient?
Computer A uses the Go-back-N ARQ protocol to send a 110 Mbytes file to computer B with a window size of 15. Given each frame carries 100K bytes data. How long does it take to send the whole file (the total time taken from A sending the first bit of the file until A receiving the last acknowledgment)? Given that the transmission rate of the link is 500 Mbps and the propagation time between A and B is 15ms. Assume no data or control frame is lost or damaged and ignore the overhead due to header and trailer.
Suppose there is a shared link (e.g. Ethernet bus) of 1 Mbps. How much time is needed (in microseconds) to transmit a 1000 bits long frame on this link?
Suppose that a computer that is used as a switch can process 20,000 packets/second. Give a range ofpossible bit rates that traverse the I/O bus and main memory.
Write a program to simulate the behavior of the CSMA/CD protocol over Ethernet when ther are N stations ready to transmit while a frame is being transmitted. Your program should report the times when each station successfully starts sending its frame. Assume that a clock tick occurs every slot time (51.2 microsec) and a collison detection and sending of a jamming sequence takes one slot time. All frames are the maximum length allowed.
For NAT Network Address Translation Scenario: Jenny Bello is a small business owner selling and making customized computer peripherals. She has been finding it difficult to track her sales and inventories, however recently after an expert's advice, she adopted a Point of Sale (PoS) server. So, she can now track her sales and inventories at the store. However, she ran into another issue, the server can only be accessed within the store, because it has been assigned a private IPv4 address, it is not publicly accessible via the Internet. a) Why is not having the PoS server accessible over the Internet a problem for the business? b) What caused this problem? c) Propose a solution for the problem and explain how the solution works.
Consider sending real-time data from Host A to Host B over a packet-switched network. Host A takes an 8-bit measurement every millisecond, and Host A collects these into 64-byte packets. There is one link between Hosts A and B; its transmission rate is 5 Mbps, its propagation delay is 2 × 108 meters/sec, and its length is 3 km. As soon as Host A gathers a packet, it sends the packet to Host B. How much time elapses from the time that Host A begins to take the first measurement in a packet until the entire packet reaches Host B?
Assume we have a memory with access time of 10 nanoseconds. The memory is accessed as 4-byte words. We would like to build a 32 X 32 Router. Assume a fixed length datagram of 1100 bytes? What is the maximum transmission rate for each input (line rate) in Gbps? What should be the capability of the router to perform address lockup (Kilo lookups per second)? units is K lookups/seconds
2. (a) Suppose an end device A wants to send a frame containing a black and white image to another end device B. There are a total of 4 routers(R1,R2,R3,R4) in between them. The image being sent is a 1080*1920 pixel image. Every pixel is represented with 1 bit. The processing time(p) of each router in given below: I. R1: p = 1µs II. R2: p = 1.5μs III. R3: p = 2µS IV. R4: p = The image is being sent through a link of bandwidth 7 MBPS and device B is 3500 Km away from device A. The signal passes through the link at a speed of 2.5x10^8m/s. Considering there is no queuing time, calculate the total delay for this transmission.
