Consider transferring an enormous file of L bytes from Host A to Host B. Assume an MSS of 536 bytes. a. What is the maximum value of L such that TCP sequence numbers are not exhausted? Recall that the TCP sequence number field has 4 bytes. b. For the L you obtain in (a), find how long it takes to transmit the file. Assume that a total of 66 bytes of transport, network, and data-link header are added to each segment before the resulting packet is sent out over a 155 Mbps link. Ignore flow control and congestion control so A can pump out the segments back to back and continuously.

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 client connecting to a web server via a router as shown in Fig.Q2. Client A sends a request to the server to retrieve a 7.5 Mbytes file. Given that the segment size is 50 Kbytes, the round trip time (RTT) between the server and client is 10 ms, the initial slow-start threshold is 16 and the client's buffer always has a storage space of 1 Mbytes. Assume that TCP Reno is used, there is no loss during transmission and the headers of protocols are ignored. 400 Mbps 200 Mbps 400 Mbps Link a Link b Link c Client Web Server Fig.Q2 (a) Describe how the value of sending window changes as a function of time (in units of RTT) during the whole connection time. 2.
The maximum transmission unit on an Ethernet link is 4500 bytes. This means that the IP packets sent over Ethernet cannot be larger than 4500 bytes including the IP header. Suppose the application layer sends a 6500-byte message. The transport layer uses TCP with no options. The network layer is using IP version 4. Obviously, the IP layer will have to fragment the data. Provide the length of new datagrams (after fragmentation). Provide the Flag and offset of each of the new datagrams.
Let host A sends a file a size of 2200 byte to host B through routers R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 respectively. Each packet contains 110 bytes of header information along with the user data. Assume that the bandwidth of each link is 106 B/s. File is split into 20 equal parts, and these packets are transmitted from A to B. Consider only transmission time and ignore processing, queuing and propagation delays also no error in transmission. What is the time taken by host A to send the complete file to host B?
