Exercises Networking

1. The document contains multiple choice and true/false questions about networking concepts such as bandwidth, data rates, protocols, error detection, and IP addressing. 2. It also includes problems about determining the path a packet would take across routers based on forwarding tables, calculating IP address ranges, and identifying outgoing interfaces for packet forwarding. 3. Additional questions cover topics like distinguishing between applications accessing the same server, whether physical or IP addresses need to change when moving a computer, and comparing broadcasting protocols.

1. Answer True or False for the following statements. a.

In general, the higher the frequency used, the higher the potential bandwidth and therefore the higher the potential data rate. b. The higher the data rate, the more cost-effective is the transmission facility. c. If the data rate of a digital signal is N bps, then a very good representation can be achieved with the bandwidth of N/2 Hz. d. When the bit length of the link is greater than the frame length, multiple frames cannot be in transit at one time. e. An Internet router connecting N subnetworks requires N-1 IP addresses. f. Ethernet is a LAN so it is placed in the second layer of the OSI reference model. g. UDP provides connectionless service and delivers packets quickly. In case of packet loss, UDP does not provide retransmission. h. DNS is used to translate a host name to its MAC address. i. UDP is the preferred over TCP for transferring a real-time voice over IP networks. j. If a digital transmission system has a bit rate of 45 megabits/second, then it can carry 1500 PCM voice channels by the system. k. Circuit switching networks require signaling and control for establishing circuits. l. Framing is required in frequency division multiplexing.

m. T-1 carrier carries Digital Signal 1 (DS-1) that combines 24 voice channels into a digital stream. n. One of the ways to reduce transmission delay is to use a higherspeed transmission system. o. Jitter is one of the modern sampling techniques for producing high-quality voice. p. Bit Error Rate (BER) increases with decreasing signal-to-noise ratio. 2. Choose an appropriate header (A-D) for each protocol below so that the headers in the packet shown below will be in the correct order. A B C D Application data a. b. c. d. HTTP header IP header Ethernet header TCP header CRC

3. A group of N stations shares a 56-kbps ALOHA channel. Each station outputs a 1000-bit frame on an average of once every 100 sec. Assuming that the system can achieve its maximum throughput what maximum number of stations can be supported?

4. The following questions deal with CRC error detecting code. a. Given a message M = 1010001101, determine the CRC using the polynomial P=x5+x4+ x2+ 1. Show your work. b. What is the transmitted message T? c. How does the receiver check whether the message T was transmitted without any errors?

5. Suppose a user has two browser applications active at the same time, and suppose that the two applications are accessing the same server to retrieve HTTP documents at the same time. How does the server tell the difference between the two applications? 6. Suppose a computer is moved from one building to another within a campus. Does the physical address need to change? Does the IP address need to change? Does it make a difference if the computer is a laptop? 7. The following questions deal with broadcasting protocols used in LANs. a. What is the main difference between the Aloha protocols and CSMA protocols? b. What is the main difference between the CSMA and CSMA/CD protocols? c. When is the binary exponential backoff algorithm used in the CSMA/CD LANs? Briefly explain how it works. 8. Answer the following: (a) Identify the address class of the following IP addresses. 200.58.20.165 128.167.23.20 16.196.128.50 (b) Describe what each of the following provides i. DNS ii. NAT

Problem 1
A small university campus is assigned a large address block 12.1.0.0/17, but is only using a portion of these addresses (in 12.1.1.0/24) to number its computers. The campus uses a single Internet Service Provider (ISP) to reach the rest of the Internet. This picture shows the forwarding tables on the ISPs router (on the left) and the campus edge router (on the right):

For example, the ISP forwards all packets with destination addresses in 12.1.0.0/17 out link #2 toward the campus edge router. Both routers include a default forwarding entry 0.0.0.0/0 that can match any destination IP address. 1. How many IP addresses does the campus own in its 12.1.0.0/17 block? You can represent your answer as a power of two. 2. What are the smallest and largest IP addresses that the campus owns, whether or not the campus is currently using the address? 3. Suppose the ISP router receives a packet with destination IP address 12.1.1.1? What path does this packet follow? 4. Suppose the ISP router receives a packet with destination IP address 12.1.20.1? What path does this packet follow?

5. What

ultimately happens to a packet with destination IP address 12.1.20.1? Where does it go?

Problem 2
Consider the following routing table of a router R. Destination Network 196.80.0.0/12 196.94.16.0/20 196.96.0.0/12 196.104.0.0/14 128.0.0.0/1 64.0.0.0/2 Outgoing Link Interface 1 2 3 4 5 6

Suppose packets with the following destination IP addresses arrive at the router R. Find the outgoing link interfaces for forwarding each of these packets. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 176.94.16.0 96.94.19.135 196.94.32.128 196.100.100.100 196.105.100.18
