Suppose an idle TCP connection exists between sockets A and B. A third party has eavesdropped and knows the current sequence number at both ends. (a) Suppose the third party sends A a forged packet ostensibly from B and with 100 bytes of new data. What happens? (Hint: Look up in Request for Comments 793 what TCP does when it receives an ACK that is not an "acceptable ACK.") (b) Suppose the third party sends each end such a forged 100-byte data packet ostensibly from the other end. What happens now? What would happen if A later sent 200 bytes of data to B?

TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. This means that... O a. both of the endpoints communicating over TCP keep information about the state of the connection. O b. a TCP sender can start sending data to the receiver before the three-way handshake takes place. O c. there is a direct physical connection between the two endpoints of a TCP session. O d. both endpoints of a TCP session have to connect to a third party before data can be sent or received.
TCP is a sliding window protocol. This means... а. the TCP retransmission timer slides up as ACKS are received. O b. there can be more than one segment "in flight" (sent but no ACK has been received) at a time. с. there can only be one segment outstanding (sent but no ACK has been received) at at time.

Assume a TCP sender sends four packets of size 1024 bytes, carrying bytes 0-4095. If the second packet is lost, what is the content of the Acknowledgement field sent in response to the third packet? (If you think that no acknowledgement is sent, for example because the third packet is out of order, then answer -1.)

In an RPC-like protocol, where numerous requests can be active at the same time and responses can be given in any sequence, the following is possible: Pretend requests are sequentially numbered, and that ACK[N] confirms the receipt of reply[N]. Should the number of ACKs be cumulative? If not, what should happen in the event that an ACK is not received?
A TCP connection is using a window size of 8,000 bytes and the previousacknowledgment number was 10,001. It receives a segment with acknowledgment number 12,001 and window size advertisement of 7,000 bytes. Draw a diagram to show the situation of the window before and after.
TCP sessions are full-duplex, which means that data can be sent in either direction during the lifetime of the session. Consider a session in which the connection is established, the client sends 100 data segments, all of them are ACKed, and all of the ACKS are received by the sender, then the session is ended by both sides closing the connect. How many segments in total have the SYN bit of the header set to 1? а. 209 O b. 2 6 с. d. 4 О е. 1
Consider a client connecting to a web server via a router as shown in Fig.Q2. Client A sends a request to the server to retrieve a 7.5 Mbytes file. Given that the segment size is 50 Kbytes, the round trip time (RTT) between the server and client is 10 ms, the initial slow-start threshold is 16 and the client's buffer always has a storage space of 1 Mbytes. Assume that TCP Reno is used, there is no loss during transmission and the headers of protocols are ignored. 400 Mbps 200 Mbps 400 Mbps Link a Link b Link c Client Web Server Fig.Q2 (a) Describe how the value of sending window changes as a function of time (in units of RTT) during the whole connection time. 2.
Consider a TCP session between Hosts A and B. Assuming that Host A sends a 10byte segment with sequence number 5, what will be the sequence number of the acknowledgment sent from B to A
Q1.Suppose a client, say C, has established a TCP connection with a server, say S. After establishing the connection, the sender sends two TCP messages with data back-to-back ( the first TCP message with sequence number 32 and the second TCP message with sequence number 100). a. What is the sequence number chosen by the client? What could be the reason for choosing this value of sequence number?b. What is the data size of first and second TCP data messages?c. Suppose the server receives the first and second TCP messages with data with the difference of 100 milliseconds delay. What could be the ACK number for both the TCP data messages from the server side as per the TCP RFC.
