Advanced Computer Networks Assignment: Week-3

1. Which of the following packet classification schemes has lower worst-case query time
complexity?

A. Hierarchical Trie
B. Set-pruning Trie
C. TCAM
D. Cross-Producting

Ans. C (TCAM)

2. Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding set-pruning trie and hierarchical
trie in the context of the query process?

A. Set-pruning trie avoids backtracking.


B. Both have similar backtracking mechanisms.
C. Set-pruning trie increases the query time complexity.
D. Hierarchical trie avoids backtracking.

Ans. A (Set-pruning trie avoids backtracking)

3. Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

A. In order to guarantee the quality of service, all the packets of a flow must follow the
same route.
B. Packets that require guaranteed service will be served first before those that require
best-effort service.
C. To prevent packet loss, the first-hop router may need to allocate a buffer for the source
smaller than its burst size.
D. The controlled-load integrated service class is used for delay-intolerant applications.

Ans. A. C and D (In order to guarantee the quality of service, all the packets of a flow must
follow the same route, To prevent packet loss, the first-hop router may need to allocate
a buffer for the source smaller than its burst size, The controlled-load integrated
service class is used for delay-intolerant applications.)
4. How does RSVP handle resources in a network for communication?

A. Resources are reserved after communication is complete.


B. Resources are reserved only for unicast applications.
C. Resources are reserved from end to end before communication and released after
communication is completed.
D. Resources are reserved for multicast applications only.

Ans. C (Resources are reserved from end to end before communication and released after
communication is completed.)

5. For Hierarchical Tries with 2 dimensions and a maximum field length of 6 for each dimension,
what is the query time complexity?

A. 12
B. 24
C. 36
D. 64

Ans. C (36)

6. Which of the following statements is/are incorrect about RSVP “soft state” approach to
managing the reservation?

A. State is never deleted; it remains indefinitely.


B. State is created and periodically refreshed by PATH and RESV messages.
C. State can also be deleted by an explicit "TEARDOWN" message.
D. State is deleted if no matching refresh messages arrive before the cleanup timeout
interval.

Ans. A (State is never deleted; it remains indefinitely)

7. Why is scalability a key concern for the end-to-end implementation of Integrated Service
(IntServ) in the core of the Internet?

A. There are large number of connections to handle and it places lot of burden on routers
B. Requires end-to-end signaling and per-flow soft state at every router.
C. Imposes limitations on service discrimination.
D. Presents challenges in incremental deployment.

Ans. A and B (There are large number of connections to handle and it places lot of burden on
routers, Requires end-to-end signaling and per-flow soft state at every router)

R6 * 1*

A. R2, R3, R4
