Question 2 – Comparison of Serial Synchronous and Asynchronous Transmission (12 points)
Compare the serial synchronous and asynchronous transfer methods with respect to the following features.
Construct a table as shown below and fill in the blanks with the appropriate feature.
a) Which one is suitable for constant bandwidth channels and which one for variable (or dynamic)
bandwidth channels?
b) Which one is subjected to waste of bandwidth and which one uses the bandwidth efficiently?
c) Define “transmission efficiency” and state which one has higher transmission efficiency; synchronous
transmission or asynchronous transmission.
Answer
Synchronous Asynchronous
Feature Transmission Transmission)
a Bandwidth Constant Variable (or dynamic)
b Waste of bandwidth No Yes
c Transmission efficiency High Low
b) The Dijkstra’s algorithm ends when all routers are added to set M. (3p)
c) The labels obtained at the last iteration of the algorithm are stored in the routing table of Router 1. (3p)
