CSE320: Data Communications

Assignment - 01
Semester: Fall 2024

Total Marks: 35

Q1. Refer to the figure below and identify the elements of communication. [2]

** Hint: 1----> end device, 11-----> transmission media

Q2. For n devices in a network, what is the number of cable links required for a mesh, ring, bus, and
star topology? Show the calculation. [4]

Q3. Suppose there are 3 academic buildings and 3 administration buildings in your University campus.
Administration buildings need to be connected with each other in such a way that the network is never
down. 3 academic buildings and 3 administration buildings are connected using multipoint connections.
Each academic building has 3 computer labs. Each lab has 3 computers. The computers in a single lab
are connected using a backbone cable and the labs of a single building are connected using star
topology. There is a conference room in administrative building1 where 6 computers are connected in
such a way that each computer has a dedicated point-to-point connection with only two computers on
either side of it.
Draw your campus’s hybrid topology. How many links will there be if the transmission mode is
full-duplex? In the topology drawn, identify one possible problem or failure and justify your answer.
[6]

Q4. How do we represent data? Name two different data types and their standards. [2]
Q5. Inspect the conversation between two friends:
Friend 1: Hey, I have some parcels for you. Are you at home?
Friend 2: Yes, I’m at home.
Friend 1: Okay, I’ll send you the parcels then.
Friend 2: I’ll receive your parcels.
Friend 1: Are you ready to receive the parcels?
Friend 2: Yes, I’m ready to receive the parcels.
Friend 1: I’ll send you 10 parcels in one shipment.
Friend 2: Can you send 5 parcels though?
Friend 1: Sure. I’ll send you 5 parcels.

Which layer of the OSI model do you think the communication is being carried out in and why? [3]

Q6. In the diagram below, R1, R2 and R3 are three routers. How many different networks do you think
the topology has and why? If PC6 wants to send data to PC1 then what is the 2nd hop that the data has to
go from the source PC6? [2]

Q7. Match the following to one or more layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite: [5]
a. Route determination
b. Providing independence from differences in data representation
c. Log-in and log-out procedures
d. Creating user datagrams
e. Responsibility for handling frames between adjacent nodes

Q8. What are the differences between the error control mechanism in the Transport layer and the Data
Link layer? [2]

Q9. What are the differences between a port address, a logical address and a physical address? Explain
why all these addresses are needed. [3]

Q10. Complete the frames (x & y) given below with appropriate port, IP and MAC addresses. Frame x
is intended for the BRACU Web server and Frame y is coming from the Email Server. MAC addresses
are numbers and IP addresses are alphabets. For the user processes, use port addresses between 49,152
- 65,535. [6]
Frame x
D. Mac S. MAC D. IP S. IP D. Port S. Port
Data Trailer

Frame y
D. Mac S. MAC D. IP S. IP D. Port S. Port
Data Trailer
