VEER SURENDRA SAI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (VSSUT), ODISHA

Even/Odd Mid Semester Examination for session 2023-24

COURSE NAME: B.Tech. SEMESTER: 4th


BRANCH NAME: Information Technology (IT)
SUBJECT NAME: Data Communication and Computer Networks (DCCN)
FULL MARKS: 30 TIME: 90 Minutes

Answer All Questions.


The figures in the right-hand margin indicate Marks. Symbols carry usual meaning.

Q1. Answer all Questions. [2 × 3]


a) Mention four fundamental characteristics that are needed for making an effective data - CO1
communication system.
b) Defne the following network performance metrics: Bandwidth, Throughput, Latency, - CO2
Jitter, Packet loss, Round Trip Time (RTT).
c) A noiseless 4-kHz channel is sampled every 1 msec. What is the maximum data - CO3
rate? How does the maximum data rate change if the channel is noisy, with a signal-
to-noise ratio of 30 dB? (Assume signals transmitted in binary form)

Q2. [4+4]
a) What do you mean by ISO OSI protocol stack? What is the basis for layering of - CO1
protocols? Briefly outline the functions of each layer in ISO OSI model.

OR
b) Calculate the total time (Latency) required to transfer a 1000-kB file in the following - CO1
cases, assuming an RTT (Round trip time) of 100 msec, a packet size of 1 kB data,
and an initial 2 × RTT of “handshaking” before data are sent.
(i) The bandwidth is 1.5Mbps, and data packets can be sent continuously.
(ii) The bandwidth is 1.5 Mbps, but after we finish sending each data packet, we
must wait one RTT before sending the next.
(iii) The bandwidth is “infinite,” meaning that we take transmit time to be zero, and
up to 20 packets can be sent per RTT.
(iv) The bandwidth is infinite, and during the first RTT, we can send one packet
(21−1), during the second RTT we can send two packets (22−1), during the third we
can send four (23−1), and so on.

Q3. [4+4]
a) Draw & describe the connecting devices required for LAN for an organization using - CO2
Tree topology.
b) A group of 2n--1 routers are interconnected in a centralized binary tree, with a router - CO2
at each tree node. Router i communicates with router j by sending a message to the
root of the tree. The root then sends the message back down to j. Derive an expression
for the mean number of hops per message for large n, assuming that all router pairs
are equally likely.
OR
c) Define Guided & Unguided Transmission Medium. Describe the role of - CO2
transmission medium in the process of data communication.
d) Explain the use of Hamming code for error detection and correction with suitable - CO2
example. If received Hamming code is 1110101 with even parity then detect and
correct error.

Q4. [4+4]
a) Given the data word 101001111 and the divisor 10111, show the generation of - CO3
the CRC codeword at the sender site (using binary division) and received codeword
is accepted at receiver site successfully.
b) Why Multiplexing is necessary in networking? Compare and contrast between FDM, - CO3
TDM and WDM.
OR
c) Give a comparative study of switching techniques employed in computer networks. - CO3
d) Explain checksum method for error detection. Suppose the following data: - CO3
01000001,01100010,01110011, and 01100100 are to transmitted. Find the transmitted
Checksum codeword for the given data. Also shows the Receiver’s identification for
error detection.
