    Answer any five questions
    All questions carry equal marks
    ---

    1.a) What are the reasons for using layered protocol? Explain with an example.
    b) Compare LAN, MAN and WAN. [6+6]

    2.a) Explain the responsibilities of ATM physical layer?


    b) Why does ATM use small, fixed-length cells?
    c) Calculate the store-and-forward delay at a single ATM switch for a link rate of
    R = 155 Mbps for L = 1,500 bytes and for L = 48 bytes. [5+2+5]

    3.a)

    L D
    Why and where is flow control needed? What are some of the parameters to be
    considered?

    R
    b) In stop-and-wait flow control, define and discuss the handling of
    i) a damaged frame.
    ii) a lost frame.

    O [5+7]

    W
    4.a) A group of N stations share a 56-kbps pure ALOHA channel. Each station outputs a
    1000-bit frame on an average of once every 100 sec, even if the previous one has not yet

    U
    been sent. What is the maximum value of N?
    b) Compare the frame structure for 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT and Gigabit Ethernet. How do they

    5.a)
    differ?

    N T
    Compare and contrast link state and distance vector routing algorithms.
    [6+6]

    b)

    J
    Let us consider some of the pros and cons of a connection oriented versus connectionless
    architecture. Suppose that in the network layer, routers were subjected to “stressful”
    conditions that might cause them to fail fairly often. At a high level, what actions would
    need to be taken on such router failure? Does this argue for a connection-oriented or a
    connectionless environment? [6+6]

    6.a) What is the congestion? Explain the congestion prevention policies.


    b) A computer on a 6 Mbps network is regulated by a token bucket. The token bucket is
    filled at a rate of 1 Mbps. It is initially filled to capacity with 8 megabits. How long can
    the computer transmit at the full 6 Mbps? [6+6]

    7.a) Describe why an application developer may choose to run an application over UDP rather
    than TCP.
    b) If the TCP round-trip time, RTT, is currently 30 msec and the following
    acknowledgments come in after 26, 32 and 24 msec respectively, what is the new RTT
    estimate using the Jacobson algorithm? What is the timeout interval? Assume α = 0.9 .
    [5+7]

    8.a) What is meant by interactivity for streaming stored audio/video? What is meant by
    interactivity for real-time interactive audio/video?
    b) How do you make an image clickable in HTML? Give an example.
    c) Does voice over IP have the same problems with firewalls that streaming audio does?
    Discuss your answer. [4+4+4]
