Consider an application that transmits data at a steady rate (for example, the sender generates an N-bit unit of data every k time units, where k is small and fixed). Also, when such an application starts, it will continue running for a relatively long period of time. Answer the following questions, briefly justifying your answer: a. Would a packet-switched network or a circuit-switched network be more appropriate for this application? Why? b. Suppose that a packet-switched network is used and the only traffic in this network comes from such applications as described above. Furthermore, assume that the sum of the application data rates is less than the capacities of each and every link. Is some form of congestion control needed? Why?

Think about a program that continuously delivers data (for example, the sender generates an N-bit unit of data every k time units, where k is small and fixed). Briefly respond to the following questions. Is this a circuit- or a packet-switched network? Why? b. Assume only the traffic from the aforementioned applications is sent via a packet-switched network.

Skype is a well‑known VoIP system used not only for peer‑to‑peer conversations but also for audio and video conferencing involving three or more callers. Assume a video conference with a central server on Skype has N callers, and each caller generates a constant data stream at rate r bps. How many bits per second does the call initiator need to send? How many bits does each of other N‑1 callers need to send?

6. Consider sending over HTTP a Web page that consists of one video clip, and five images. Suppose that the video clip is transported as 25 frames, and each image has 4 frames. a. If all the video frames are sent first without interleaving, how many "frame times" are needed until all five images are sent? b. If frames are interleaved, how many frame times are needed until all five images are sent.
⦁ You are designing a connection mechanism between two programs, sending packets of data over the internet. You are trying to choose a size for the packets to be sent, depending on the capacity of the channel (channel bandwidth). For example, if a channel has a capacity of 10KB, then you can choose a packet size of 10KB, and send one packet, or choose a packet size of 5KB and send two packets...Etc. The problem you face is that the two programs are at two different locations, with two different channel capacities. If the first channel had a capacity of 3201KB, and the second channel had a capacity of 4565KB, find the maximum packet size that is suitable for both channels.
Assume that there is a shared connection (for example, an Ethernet bus) with a speed of 1 Mbps. How much time (in microseconds) is required to send a frame with a length of 1000 bits over this link?
Consider a client and a server connected through one router. Assume the router can start transmitting an incoming packet after receiving its first 0.6 Mbits instead of the whole packet. Suppose that the transmission rate of each link is 6 Mb/s and that the client transmits one packet with a size of 2 Mbits to the server. Assume the propagation, processing, and queuing delays are negligible. Answer the following questions (use up to 4 significant digits if needed; e.g., yy.xxxx): What is the end-to-end delay?3D seconds What is the end-to-end delay if there are 2 routers between the client and the server?= seconds
Suppose that we are sending a 30 Mb MP3 file from a source host to a destination host. All links in the path between source and destination have a transmission rate of 10 Mbps. Assume that the propagation speed is 2 × 108 meters/sec, and the distance between source and destination is 10,000 km. 1. Now suppose that the MP3 file is broken into 3 packets, each of 10 Mb. Ignore headers that may be added to these packets. Also ignore processing delays. Assuming store and forward packet switching at the router, what is the total delay? 2. Now suppose there is only one link between source and destination, and there are 10 TDM channels in the link. The MP3 file is sent over one of the channels. What is the end-to-end delay?
"An application message is segmented into 20 packets, each of which is 2500-byte in size. Calculate the end-to-end delay in milliseconds (ms) for the message when the bit rate for any node is 10 Mbps, the optical path total distance is 1200-km, and the queuing and processing delays are 1-ms and 3-ms, respectively. There are 2 intermediate routers in the path, each of which uses the store and-forward approach. Round your answer to the nearest integer. Question 16 of 37
