Semester March 2017 BMIS 32122 INTRO TO COMP NETWORKS ASSIGNMENT 3 05 June 2017

ANSWER THESE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

1. If all the links in the Internet were to provide reliable delivery service, would the TCP reliable
delivery service be redundant? Why and why not?
[6 Marks]
2. Name three error-detection strategies employed by link layer.
[3 Marks]
3. Explain the basic concept of multiple access protocol. Compare CSMA and CSMA/CD.
[6 Marks]
4. Why does collision occur in CSMA, if all nodes perform carrier sensing before transmission?
[4 Marks]
5. Suppose the information content of a packet is the bit pattern 1010 0111 0101 1001 and an
even parity scheme is being used. What would the value of the field containing the parity bits be
for the case of a two-dimensional parity scheme?
[5 Marks]
6. Consider the following two-dimensional parity matrix.
0 1 0 1
1 0 1 0
0 1 0 1
1 0 1 0
Give an example of a double bit error that can be detected but cannot be corrected.
[6 Marks]
7. Consider the generator, G = 1001, and suppose that D has the value 11000111010. What is the
value of R?
[5 Marks]
8. Rework Q4, but suppose that D has the value
a. 01101010101 b. 11111010101 c. 10001100001
[15 Marks]
