A. The following is a dump (contents) of a TCP header in hexadecimal format.

VVVVYYYY 00000C02 01110010 CB1Z0104 9B2AD59D


Now look at the starting few bytes of the Packet (shown above) carefully and answer the
following questions. Here YYYY (in Hexa decimal format) is calculated as adding all numbers
of your birth date. (Example: for 09-09-1989, YYYY = 0+9+0+9+1+9+8+9 = 0045). VVVV (in
Hexa decimal format) = 2S + 1024, where S is your roll number. (Example: for roll number 007,
S = 2 x 7 + 1024 = 1038). And Z = T mod 10 where T is your roll number.
i. What is the destination port number?
ii. Does sender immediately terminate the connection? Justify your answer?
iii. What is the type of segment?
iv. Does sender want to end the connection? Justify your answer.
v. Does entire buffer is free? Justify your answer.

Hint : So if YYYY = 07-08-1999, YYYY = 0+7+0+8+1+9+9+9 = 43


Z = T mod 10 and if R = 1 then Z = 1 = 0001 (PSH, RST, SYN & FIN) bits

B. Considering Automatic Repeat Request, suppose two neighboring nodes (A & B) use a
sliding-window protocol with X-bit sequence number. Using Selective Repeat with a
window size of Y in the ARQ mechanism, A is a transmitting and B is a receiving node. Use
the values of X and Y to show the window positions for the following events of data
exchange:

i. Create window before A sends any number of frames.


ii. Show the window after A sends frames = X and receives acknowledgment from B for
only first two frames.
iii. After A sends frames 3 to 8 and B sends acknowledgement of frame 6 to A.

(Where X = last digit of your roll number + 10 and Y = last digit of your roll number + 8)

Q.2. (10)

A. Suppose that you have an IPv4 address 202.100.100.XXX/30, (XXX = your 3 digit roll
number mod 256). Determine whether this IPv4 address is a Network address, Host address
or Broadcast address? Specify which subnet does this IPv4 address belong to? And also give
complete detail of that subnet.

B. If an organization has the Network address 192.168.0.XXX/27, determine the following


questions: (XXX = your 3 digit roll number mod 256)

i. Number of subnets exists?


ii. List of subnets?
iii. Number of Hosts per subnets?
iv. Broadcast address and valid hosts for each subnet?
v. First and last address of subnet number 6?

Q.3. (10)

Develop a routing directory from Home to Office (using any Least Cost Algorithm) and then
build centralized routing table for the networks in the following figure. (Where X is a single digit
number. X will be derived from your roll number for e.g. if your roll number is 097, add all
digits of your roll number i.e. 0+9+7 = 16. To make it in a single digit add all digits again 16 =
1+6 = 7. Therefore, X = 7 for your problem solving).
