Week 6 Calculations

Using an exponential weighted moving average with a weight of 0.4, the estimated RTT for packet #4 is 26.4 ms. The size of the maximum segment size (MSS) for a mythical protocol with a maximum link layer frame of 751 bytes, network header of 24 bytes, and transport header of 5 bytes is 722 bytes. Given an effective delay of 64 ms at 40% network usage, the effective delay at 82% network usage is 213.3 ms. When sharing a 1 Gbps link, Application C should receive 185.2 Mbps of bandwidth based on TCP fairness during times all connections are transmitting.

A host starts a TCP transmission with an EstimatedRTT of 34.1ms (from the “handshake”).

The host then


sends 3 packets and records the RTT for each:

- SampleRTT1 = 45.6 ms (NOTE: SampleRTT1 is the “oldest”;


- SampleRTT2 = 17.1 ms SampleRTT3 is the most recent.)
- SampleRTT3 = 20.9 ms

Using an exponential weighted moving average with a weight of 0.4 given to the most recent sample,
what is the EstimatedRTT for packet #4? Give answer in milliseconds, rounded to one decimal place,
without units, so for an answer of 0.01146 seconds, you would enter "11.5" without the quotes.

Recall:

Our exponential weighted moving average has a weight of 0.4, so α = 0.4

Calculate the EstimatedRTT for each SampleRTT:

- SampleRTT1 = 45.6 ms - EstimatedRTT = (0.6 * 34.1) + (0.4 * 45.6) = 38.7


- SampleRTT2 = 17.1 ms - EstimatedRTT = (0.6 * 38.7) + (0.4 * 17.1) = 30.06
- SampleRTT3 = 20.9 ms - EstimatedRTT = (0.6 * 30.06) + (0.4 * 20.9) = 26.396

Final Answer: 26.4 ms

Imagine a mythical set of protocols with the following details.


- Maximum Link-Layer data frame: 751 bytes
- Network-Layer header size: 24 bytes
- Transport-Layer header size: 5 bytes
What is the size, in bytes, of the MSS? (Give answer without units)

MSS = MLL – NL – TL
MSS = 751 – 24 – 5
MSS = 722
Given a effective delay of 64ms when network usage is 40%, what is the effective delay when network
usage = 82% ? (Give answer is milliseconds, rounded to one decimal place, without units. So for an
answer of 0.10423 seconds you would enter "104.2" without the quotes).
Recall:
To solve this, we first want to find 𝐷0 (the delay when there is no traffic).

𝐷0
64 = 64 (0.6) = 𝐷0 𝐷0 = 38.4 ms
(1 – 0.4)

Now we can plug 𝐷0 in to solve the delay for 82% utilization:

38.4
D = = 213.3333 ms
(1 – 0.82)

Final Answer: 213.3 ms

Given a 1 Gbps link with TCP applications A, B, and C.

- Application A has 40 TCP connections to a remote web server


- Application B has 4 TCP connection to a mail server
- Application C has 10 TCP connections to a remote web server.

According to TCP "fairness", during times when all connections are transmitting, how much bandwidth
should Application C have? (Give answer in Mbps, rounded to one decimal place, without units. So for
an answer of 1234,567,890 bps you would enter "1234.6" without the quotes.)

- Convert 1 Gbps link to 1000 Mbps


- Total connections = 40 + 4 + 10 = 54 connections
- Each individual connection gets 1000/54 Mbps
- Application C has 10 connections, so it gets a total of:
(1000/54) * 10 = 185.185 Mbps

Final Answer: 185.2 Mbps
