Network Performance Monitoring 1-4#FIX

Bernie the dog can carry 3 tapes totalling 21GB of data and travel at 18km/hr. For distances under 5.733km, Bernie has a higher data transfer rate than a 150Mbps transmission line. If Bernie's speed doubles to 36km/hr, the maximum distance increases to 11.466km. If each tape's capacity doubles to 14GB, the maximum distance is 688.128km. If the transmission line's rate doubles to 300Mbps, the maximum distance decreases to 172.032km.

Question 1
Imagine that you have trained your St. Bernard, Bernie,
to carry a box of three 8-mm tapes instead of a flask of
brandy. (When your disk fills up, you consider that an
emergency.) These tapes each contain 7 gigabytes. The
dog can travel to your side, wherever you may be, at 18
km/hour.
 For what range of distances does Bernie have a
higher data rate than a transmission line whose data
rate (excluding overhead) is 150 Mbps?
 How does your answer change if
(i) Bernie’s speed is doubled;
(ii) each tape capacity is doubled;
(iii) the data rate of the transmission line is doubled.
Task 1 2019/11/7 2
Answer 1

From the Question we know :


Bernie (BR) carries three 7GB (Giga byte)
tape and Totally BR can carry 21 GB
( 3 * 7 = 21).
Question: how long Bernie will take to
transfer 21GB data over a 150-Mbps line.

Task 1 2019/11/7 3
 Convert the Bernie’s carrying data size into mega
bits (Mb)
Barnie Data Size = 21 x 1024 x 8 = 172032 Mb
 Calculate the required time in second to transfer
data
Required Time = BR Data / transmission Line
= 172032/ 150 = 1146.88 second = 19.11 Minutes

So we need approximately 19.11 Minutes to


transfer 21 GB of data over 150 Mbps line

Task 1 2019/11/7 4
Compute the Amount of Data Transferred
• Convert BR speed into minutes 18 km/hour =
18/60 = 0.3 km/minutes
• So data transferred = Speed of BR x Required
Time
= 0.3 x 19.11 = 5.733 Km

∴ So distance smaller than 5.733 km will have


higher data rate.
i. If speed of the Bernie is doubled, then the maximum value of
travel distance is also doubled because the speed of Bernie is
directly propositional to maximum travel distance.
Data transferred = (2x0.3) x 19.11 = 11.466 Km
∴ Distance smaller than 11.466 km will have higher data rate.

ii. If the capacity of each tape is doubled, then the travel distance is
also doubled because when the capacity of each tape is
increasing, the total data to be transfer is also increased, so this
results to increase the travel distance.
Data transferred = 0.3 x ((2 x 21x1024x8)/150) = 688.128 Km
∴ Distance smaller than 688.128 km will have higher data rate.
iii. When the data rate of transmission line is
doubled, the value of travel distance is
divided into two because the data rate of
transmission line is inversely proportional to
traveling distance.
Data transferred = 0.3 x ((21x1024x8)/(150*2)) = 172.032 Km

∴ Distance smaller than 172.032 km will have higher data rate.

Question 2
• An alternative to a LAN is simply a big timesharing
system with terminals for all users. Give two
advantages of a client-server system using a LAN.

Task 1 2019/11/7 8
Answer 2

• LAN is more cost and resource effective. The


client-server system using a LAN the clients can
make better use of network resources not only
limited to certain area or number of user. For
example clients can be far apart from the server
where in a big timesharing system terminals can
be in the range of the same building (protocol)
• Simple construction, one process can be run on
each client and server and vary service like VPN,
WWW, FTP, E-Mail.
Question 3
The performance of a client-server system is
influenced by two network factors:
– the bandwidth of the network (how many bits/sec it
can transport) and
– the latency (how many seconds it takes for the first bit
to get from the client to the server).
Give an example of a network that exhibits high
bandwidth and high latency. Then give an example of
one with low bandwidth and low latency..

Task 1 2019/11/7 10
Answer 3

• A transcontinental fiber link might have many


gigabits/sec of bandwidth, but the latency will
also be high due to the speed of light
propogation over thousands of kilometers.
• In contrast, a 56-kbps modem calling a
computer in the same building will have a low
bandwidth and low latency.
Question 4
• 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) videotraffic?
(iii) financial transaction traffic?

Task 1 2019/11/7 12
Answer 4

• A uniform delivery time is an important


parameter that needed for voice as well as video,
so the amount of jitter (or standard deviation in
packet arrival times) in the network is crucial.
• For financial transaction traffic, reliability and
security are very important. Suppose if security
and reliability is not present in financial
transaction traffic than it will be very easy for an
intruder to misuse the financial transactions. So
reliability and security is the most important
aspect of financial transaction traffic.
Question 5
• A factor in the delay of a store-and-forward packet-
switching system is how long it takes to store and
forward a packet through a switch. If switching time is 10
μsec, is this likely to be a major factor in the response of
a client-server system where the client is in New York
and the server is in California? Assume the propagation
speed in copper and fiber to be 2/3 the speed of light in
vacuum.
Answer 5

• No!!! Speed of the light is 300.000 km/sec so the speed of


propagation is 200,000 km/sec or 200 meters/microsec.
• In 10 microsec the signal travels 2000meters or 2km.
• Thus, each switch adds a equivalent of 2 kms of extra cable. If
the client and server are separated by 5000 km, traversing
even 50 switches adds only 100km to the total path, which is
only 2%. Thus, switching delay is not a major factor under
these circumstances
