Computer Network Assign#1


2. The performance of a client-server system is strongly influenced by
two major network characteristics: the bandwidth of the network (that
is, how many bits/sec it can transport) and the latency (that is, how
many seconds it takes for the first bit to get from the client to the
server). Give an example of a network that have high bandwidth but
also high latency. Then give an example of one that has both low
bandwidth and low latency.

3. Besides bandwidth and latency, what other parameter is needed to


give a good characterization of the quality of service offered by a
network used for (i) digitized voice traffic? (ii) video traffic? (iii)
financial transaction traffic?

4. Ten signals, each requiring 4000 Hz, are multiplexed onto a single
channel using FDM. What is the minimum bandwidth required for the
multiplexed channel? Assume that the guard bands are 400 Hz wide.

5. We have 200 bytes of data to send from A to B, with a distance of


200km between them. Calculate the total transmission time, assuming
the speed of the signal is 200,000 km/s and that the data rate is 1Mbps
and that a header of 40 bytes has to be added to the data before it is
sent."

6. A client-server system uses a satellite network, with the satellite at a


height of 40,000 km. What is the best-case delay in response to a
request?

7. What key factors affect channel capacity?

8. An image is 1600 x 200 pixels with 3 bytes/pixel. Assume the image is


uncompressed. How long does it take to transmit it over a 56-kbps
modem channel? Over a 1-Mbps cable modem? Over 10 gigabit
Ethernet?
