Consider each tier of the TCP/IP protocol stack and assign a priority to each layer based on your assessment of their importance. Is it possible to merge or separate any of these layers? Would the kind of data sent alter your ordering, and if so, how? Justify your ordering decision. Utilize the scale below: 1 represents the most critical factor, while 5 represents the least critical factor.

Consider each layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack and order them from most important to least. Can one or more of these layers be combined or separated? Would the kind of information being sent affect how you order, and if so, why or why not? Why did you decide to place your order that way? To assist you, use the following scale: The most important component is represented by 1, while the least important factor is represented by 5.
Considering each of the TCP/IP protocol stack layers and rank them in the order you feel they are most important. Can one or more of these layers be combined or separated? Would your ordering be affected based upon what type of data is being transmitted, why or why not? Defend why your choice of ordering is the way you have stated. Use the following scale: 1=most important and 5= least important.
4. The original HTTP protocol used TCP/IP as the underlying protocol. For each page, graphic, or applet, a separate TCP connection was constructed, used, and terminated. This caused several problems: one referred to as the elephant and mice problem and two aspects of connection overhead. Describe both problems. Why were separate connections used? Would UDP rather than TCP be a good alternative? What solution would you propose to these problems to improve HTTP performance?
Sort the TCP/IP protocol stack layers by importance. Can layers be mixed or separated? If so, why? You ordered that way—why? Helpful scale: 1 is the most crucial aspect, while 5 is the least.
Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution. Why is TCP/IP fragmentation important for internet communications? What would likely happen on the internet without that fragmentation? Why is TCP considered a "reliable" communication protocol but HTTP and Ethernet considered "not reliable"? Is there some "better way" to arrange internet communications?
See what makes SMTP different from HTTP in this analysis of application protocols.What does the acronym HTTP stand for, and how does it work?I need to know what port it uses for transmission.Both Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol may be abbreviated to TCP or UDP. In each of these cases, what factors must be considered?So, how many distinct varieties of 'network' are there? Give a succinct summary of what you know about each.
Tell me about the distinction between Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Identify the four most noticeable variations between the two sets of treatment, and evaluate their relative significance.
(b) The Internet Protocol (IP) can sometimes surprise with its flexibility. Since the overall design is close enough to the principles of the OSI Protocol Model, IP is independent of the Data Link and Physical network layers. And some Norwegians indeed showed successful IP network transmission is possible with carrier pigeons. If we would want to attempt to use carrier pigeons to establish a TCP connection between Canterbury and London, how long would it take to successfully establish the transmission under perfect conditions? (Assume the pigeons are perfectly reliable.) Explain how you come to your result. (1)
QUESTION 77 Consider the network topology shown below with routers labeled A through F, inclusive. Each link is labeled with its "cost" for routing purposes. The link state routing algorithm is used in this network. (a)Show how Djikstra's algorithm works to compute paths from Router E to all other routers (show your answer in a table format similar to the one used in the lectures). (b)Show the final forwarding table at Router E after completion of the algorithm.
A protocol stack used by many applications is to use TCP at the transport layer and IP at the network layer. The ICMP protocol is also used to report on problems encountered by IP. A) The IP protocol provides a service referred to as "best effort". Describe the services of IP and potentially ICMP protocol, with respect to flow control( ensuring the sender does not overwhelm the receiver). B) Describe the services TCP provides with respect to flow control and explain the mechanisms it uses to overcome the deficiencies of IP.
X.25 and Frame Relay are two protocols applied in packet switching data communication. Packet switching is a method of grouping data that is transmitted over a digital network into packets.Based on the description given above, ELABORATE your answer from the questions below:a) Briefly EXPLAIN X.25 and Frame Relay protocols, their protocol layers and equipment used. b) DISCUSS at least FIVE (5) differences between the TWO (2) protocols.
4- The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is known to be one of the most important protocol used in computer networks. It helps to understand and analyse the protocol most effectively and monitor and capture the traffic using a protocol analyser. Using Wireshark capture, analyse the TCP, identify source and destination MAC address, source and destination IP address, and show the full working out of your experiment in a logical structure.
