National Institute of Technology Rourkela MID - TERM EXAMINATION, Autumn-2017

This document is the mid-term examination for Computer Networks from the National Institute of Technology Rourkela for the 7th semester B.Tech program. It contains 5 questions assessing various topics in computer networks. Question 1 involves calculating file transfer times for different bandwidth and frame sending scenarios. Question 2 asks about the suitability of different MAC protocols for IEEE 802.11 networks and the time to transmit a bit over a 10Mbps network. Question 3 covers token-based protocols and the IEEE 802.5 standard. Question 4 examines link utilization for a given link speed and RTT, and explains the selective repeat error control protocol. Question 5 determines network capacity given file transfer time and RTT, and discusses problems in

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROURKELA

MID - TERM EXAMINATION, Autumn-2017


B.Tech. 7th Semester

Subject code: CS-421 Subject Name: Computer Networks Dept. Code: CS


No. of pages: 01 Full Marks: 30 Duration: 2 Hours

All questions carry equal marks


All parts of a question should be answered at one place.

Q.No. Particulars Marks


1.(a) Calculate the total time required to transfer a 1.5MB file in the following cases, 2+2+2
assuming a RTT of 80 ms, a frame size of 1KB data, and an initial 2 X RTT of
handshaking before data is sent.

(i) The BW is 10 Mbps, and the data frame can be sent continuously.
(ii) The BW is 10 Mbps, but after we finish sending each data frame we must
wait one RTT before sending the next.
(iii) The link allows infinitely fast transmit, but limits bandwidth such that
only 20 frames can be sent per RTT.

2.(a) With suitable reasons justify why the MAC protocols for IEEE 802. 3/802.4 / 802.5 4+2
networks are not suitable for IEEE 802.11 standard networks?

(b) On a 10Mbps network, how long it takes to transmit each bit of data?

3.(a) What is token based protocol? Write the functioning of the IEEE 802.5 protocol with 3+3
neat diagrams. Mention proper comments to your explanation. Include all possible
cases of its maintenance as well.

(b) Explain the working principle of sliding window flow control protocol with suitable
example.

4. (a) Consider a link of 1.5 Mbps with the RTT of the frame is 45ms. If the sender can send 3+3
only one frame per RTT, then find the percentage of link utilization. Assume the size
of the frame to be 1KB.
(Hint: The end-to-end throughput over a network= Transfer size / Transfer time)

With a neat diagram explain the working principle of Selective repeat error control
(b)
protocol?

5. (a) If a user waits for 100sec to transfer a file of size 5MB in a network whose RTT is 3+3
100msec, find the network capacity?

(b) With neat diagrams discuss the typical problems associated with wireless
communication? How does a collision avoidance protocol works in wireless
environment. Give suitable example with neat sketch?
