Explanation of Solution

The formula used for calculating the probability of a packet that is successfully received by the receiver is as follows

Q1. Consider the Figure below. Now suppose that each link between server and the client has a packet loss probability p, and the packet loss probabilities for these links are independent. What is the probability that a packet (sent by the server) is successfully received by the receiver? If a packet is lost in the path from the server to the client, then the server re-transmits the packet. On average, how many times will the server re-transmit the packet in order for the client to successfully receive the packet? Server Client R1 R2 RN Q2. Consider the circuit-switched network in the figure below. Label the four switches A, B, C and D, going in the clockwise direction. a. What is the maximum number of simultaneous connections that can be in progress at any one time in this network? b. Suppose that all connections are between switch A and C. What is the maximum number of simultaneous connections that can be in progress? c. Suppose we want to make four connections between switches A and…
Consider a packet of length L that begins at end system A and travels over three links to a destination end system. These three links are connected by two packet switches. Let d, s, and R denotes the length, propagation speed, and the transmission rate of link i, for i=1,2,3 . The packet switch delays each packet by d . Assuming no queuing delays, in terms of d, s , R, (i=1,2,3),  and L, what is the total end-to-end delay for the packet? Suppose now the packet is 1,500 bytes, and the propagation speed on all three links are 3125km/sec, 10000 km/sec, and 3333km/sec respectively. The transmission rates of all three links are 2 Mbps, the packet switch processing delay is 3 msec, the length of the first link is 5,000 km, the length of the second link is 4,000 km, and the length of the last link is 1,000 km. For these values, what is the end-to-end delay?    In the above problem, suppose R1=R2=R3=R and dproc=0. Further, suppose the packet switch does not store-and-forward packets but…
