Consider an Infrastructure BSS with an Access Point and two Mobile Stations, and let’s use AP, M1, and M2 to denote their MAC addresses. Both M1 and M2 are associated with the AP. Suppose M1 wants to send a data frame to M2. When this data frame is relayed by the AP, explain how the AP shall update the four address fields of the data frame.

A frame containing http request is sent from Computer (A) [in whichever subnet it is now, make sure to show it in your figure], to the access point it is associated with. Draw the address fields (1, 2, and 3) of the frame travelling from Computer A to AP and the source and destination addresses of the frame travelling from AP to R1. The MAC addresses of AP1, AP2, and AP3 are M1, M2, and M3 respectively, and the Router R1’s MAC address connected to this Switch/AP is MRA. IP address values are already given, and the port addresses could also be used as given. The Router’s MAC address facing WAN side is MRW.
Consider a TCP segment originating on a host running a Google Chrome Browser destined for the TU Dublin Webserver: (1) Separately identify how the port numbers are assigned for the client and server applications and, identify the range from which these port numbers are allocated. (ii) Identify the byte order used to represent these addresses within the segment header. (iii) If a port number contained in the segment header is passed to the Application layer, identify the function used to convert it to the correct byte order within the application.
Problem 3 Consider the problem of deciding whether to implement a virtual- circuit or a datagram network. Assume a network protocol that allows the system to operate as either a virtual circuit network or a datagram network. That is, its packet header format is specified such that it incorporates both a VCI (Virtual Circuit Identifier) and an arbitrary source/destination addresses. When operating as a virtual circuit, it requires a 4-byte header. When operating as a datagram network, it requires a 40-byte header. Assume that there are 4 hops from source to destination, and that a set up or tear down request packet is 80 bytes (including the header). The total message length is 4096 bytes, the data rate is 9600 bps on all links and the packet size is 256 bytes (including the header). i) If we operate in the datagram mode, how long does it take for the first packet to reach the destination? If we operate in virtual-circuit mode, how long does it take for the first packet to reach the…
(a) Suppose a server S and client C are connected over the Internet. The one-way prop- agation delay from S to C is 50 ms. The maximum throughput between S and C is R = 200 Mbps. A browser on client C makes an HTTP request for a webpage on server S. The base HTML file is of size 500 KB and it references five objects, each of size 5 MB. Find the total response time for the client to receive the entire webpage using nonpersistent HTTP with up to two parallel connections. Assume that when two par- allel connections are active, the throughput for each connection is 40% of the maximum throughput R. (b) Suppose an application running on host ece.gmu.edu needs to resolve the domain name cs.vtech.edu. Draw a diagram (with labels) showing the sequence of queries/responses in a recursive DNS query to find the answer in a scenario where all levels of the DNS hierarchy are involved.
Discuss the invocation semantics that can be achieved when the request-reply protocol is implemented over a TCP/IP connection, which guarantees that data is delivered in the order sent, without loss or duplication. {Note: Take into account all of the conditions causing a connection to be broken}
Consider the following scenario in which host A is sending a file to host B over a TCP connection. Assuming that the sequence number of the first data byte sent by A is 0 and every segment always includes 1000 bytes of data, excluding the TCP header. At some point of time, bytes up to 6400 have been written into the sender’s buffer. Bytes up to 4999 have been sent out but the segment which contains bytes 2000~2999 has not arrived at host B yet. At the receiver’s side, all bytes up to 3999 have been received except for bytes 2000~2999. Bytes up to 499 have been read from the buffer by the application. Assume that the maximum size of the sender’s buffer is large enough. Consider the sliding window algorithm in TCP and answer the following questions. 1) What are the values for LastByteAcked, LastByteSent, and LastByteWritten? 2) What are the values for LastByteRead, NextByteExpected, and LastByteRcvd? 3) Assuming that the maximum size of the receiver’s buffer is 4000 byte, what would…
Consider a datagram network using 8-bit host addresses. Suppose a router uses longest prefix matching and has the following forwarding table: (refer to image) For each of the four interfaces, give the associated range of destination host addresses and the number of addresses in the range.
1. Build a Router network which has three Generic Routers and totally of Six networks in it. From each Router the required switch shall be connected through Fast Ethernet port and the switch is connected to two users. On the whole there are '6' networks in the configuration. Along with the network diagram do the packet transfer in simulation mode and write results for three different combinations.
Host A and B are communicating over a TCP connection. Host B has already received from Host A all bytes up through byte 23. Suppose Host A then sends two segments to Host B back-to-back. The first and the second segments contain 30 and 50 bytes of data, respectively. In the first segment, the sequence number is 24, the source port number is 3000, and the destination port number is 80. Host B sends an acknowledgment whenever it receives a segment from Host A. A.

b) Consider a scenario where fragmentation may take place in packet transfer. Discuss how such fragmentation may be reassembled at the destination. Now consider in such scenario, a datagram is fragmented into five fragments. The first four fragments arrive, but the last one is delayed. Eventually, the timer goes off and the four fragments in the receiver’s memory are discarded. A little later, the last fragment arrives. What should be done with it?
3. Consider a simple application-level protocol built on top of UDP that allows a client to retrieve a file from a remote server residing at a well-known address. The client first sends a request with a file name, and the server responds with a sequence of data packets containing different parts of the requested file. To ensure reliability and sequenced delivery, client and server use a stop-and-wait protocol. Ignoring the obvious performance issue, do you see a problem with this protocol? Think carefully about the possibility of processing crashing. State conclusion: Provide Proof: Solution:
Host A and B are communicating over a TCP connection, and Host B has already received from A all bytes up through byte 126. Suppose Host A then sends two segments to Host B backto-back. The first and second segments contain 80 and 40 bytes of data, respectively. In the first segment, the sequence number is 127, the source port number is 302, and the destination port number is 80. Host B sends an acknowledgment whenever it receives a segment from Host A. d. Suppose the two segments sent by A arrive in order at B. The first acknowledgment is lost and the second acknowledgment arrives after the first timeout interval. Draw a timing diagram, showing these segments and all other segments and acknowledgments sent. (Assume there is no additional packet loss.) For each segment in your figure, provide the sequence number and the number of bytes of data; for each acknowledgment that you add, provide the acknowledgment number.
