c.

Explanation of Solution

ASCII values for the letters from “b” through “k”:

LettersASCII valuesBinary number
b980110 0010
c990110 0011
d1000110 0100

d.

Explanation of Solution

Steps to find internet checksum:

Step 1: Find ASCII value for the string.

Step 2: Find 8-bit binary number for the corresponding ASCII values.

Step 3: Add 16-bit numbers. If carry occurs, then wrap that around.

Step 4: Take 1’s complement for the final result to find out internet checksum.

For part (a) the internet checksum is calculated as follows:

Add all the 16-bit integers:

The above result doesn’t produce carry and therefore take 1’s complement.

1’s complement for “0001 1001 0001 1110” is “1110 0110 1110 0001”.

Therefore, internet checksum for the numbers 1 through 10 is “1110 0110 1110 0001”.

For part (b) the internet checksum is calculated as follows:

Add all the 16-bit integers:

The above result produces carry bit so carry forward it.

Now, take 1’s complement. 1’s complement for “0101 1111 0110 0100” is “1010 0000 1001 1011”.

Therefore, internet checksum for the letters “B” through “K” is “1010 0000 1001 1011”...
