The analogy of a pipe has been used to represent the overall performance of a communication link. Which characteristic of an actual pipe would correspond to propagation time (delay) on a communication link? O the length of the pipe O a leak in the pipe O the diameter of the pipe O the volume of the pipe A _____ is used to connect networks together. A _____ connects nodes within a single network. O router / gateway O switch / router O port / switch O router / switch Which organization approves international data communications standards? O Microsoft O ARIN O FCC O ISO

Step 1
The longer the pipe, the longer it takes for something to travel through it, just like how the longer the distance a signal has to travel in a communication link, the longer the propagation time. Show more…

a) A router has a single queue (buffer) that receives and transmits packets from multiple users to an output link. The link speed is 10 Mbps (10 x 10^6), the average packet arrival rate is 1,200 packets/sec, and the average packet size is 512 bytes. Assuming a basic queuing model, what is the average service rate in packets/sec? What is the traffic intensity? b) A router uses an IP packet size of 512 bytes and has a link speed of 100 Mbps (100 x 10^6). What is the efficiency for the standard IP packet header size? What is the link goodput?

Packets at the UM gateway arrive according to a Bernoulli process with parameter 0.12. The time is slotted in microseconds. Assume that all packets have the same length of 1 MB. A router requires at least one standard microprocessor with a memory stack. Assume that each standard microprocessor can provide service with service time that is geometrically distributed with the expected value of 35 microseconds and comes with a memorystack that can store 100 MB. The following specifications need to be satisfied in steady-state: (a) Expected wait time for each new packet before service begins is no longer than 75 microseconds and (b) Probability of buffer overflow is less than 10^-25. A router with multiple processors splits the arrival process probabilistically with parallel connections. Find the minimum number of processors required to satisfy the specifications.

Define the following parameters for a switching network: N = number of hops between two given end systems L = message length in bits B = data rate, in bits per second (bps), on all links P = fixed packet size, in bits H = overhead (header) bits per packet S = call setup time (circuit switching or virtual circuit) in seconds T = call teardown time (circuit switching or virtual circuit) in seconds D = propagation delay per hop in seconds a. For N = 4, L = 3000, B = 9600, P = 1080, H = 80, S = 0.2, T = 0.02, D = 0.001, compute the end-to-end delay for circuit switching, virtual circuit packet switching, and datagram packet switching. Assume that there are no acknowledgments. Ignore processing delay at the nodes. Assume no header for circuit switching.
