TCP implements network fairness indirectly.
true
What are some possible consequences of network-core congestion? (Check all that apply)
Delayed packets Network collapse Dropped Packets Out-of-order packet arrival Increased network congestion
Given a 4 Gbps link with TCP applications A, B, and C. Application A has 29 TCP connections to a remote web server Application B has 2 TCP connection to a mail server Application C has 14 TCP connections to a remote web server. According to TCP “fairness”, during times when all connections are transmitting, how much bandwidth should Application C have? (Give answer in Mbps, rounded to one decimal place, without units. So for an answer of 1234,567,890 bps you would enter “1234.6” without the quotes.)

A network with a connectionless network layer is called a datagram network .
datagram network
In a subnet, the reserved addresses are the __________ (with a lowest subnet IP address) and the ____________ (with a highest subnet IP address).
subnet address, broadcast address
When a host in a network needs to obtain a valid IP address for itself, it broadcasts a “discover” message that can be handled by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, which will “offer” an IP address within the correct domain.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
The Internet Protocol (IP) implements flow control.
false
The process of moving a datagram from a router’s input port to output port is handled by the switching fabric .

In addition to a “default” entry, routing tables in an internet store…
the “first hop” in a path to each of the networks known to the router
In a datagram network, the responsibilities of the network layer include: (check all that apply).
host-to-host communication packet forwarding packet routing
Given a router with 5 input ports and 5 output ports. If the switching fabric is 5 times as fast as the input/output line speed, queueing can occur at an output port.
can
Where do network-layer protocols run?
PCs Mobile devices Laptops Routers
The Internet Protocol (IP) header may be 28 bytes long.
true
What can cause packet queueing at a router’s output port?
Multiple data flows requiring the same outbound link. Slow outbound link transmission rate.
The Internet Protocol (IP) implements data reliability services
false
The network layer manages communications from host to host .
host to host
The Internet Protocol (IP) header may be 21 bytes long.
false
For the IPv4 CIDR address 153.10.22.56 /22 What is the… Netmask: Network Address: Host Mask: 0.0.3.255 Broadcast Address: Number of possible hosts: 1022 Host Number:
Answer 1: Correct! 255.255.252.0 Answer 2: Correct! 153.10.20.0 Answer 3: Correct! 0.0.3.255 Answer 4: Correct! 153.10.23.255 Answer 5: Correct! 1022 Answer 6: Correct! 568
What are some causes of network congestion? (Check all that apply)
Typical Internet Usage. Correct! Parallel TCP Connections. Correct! High utilization. Correct! Dropped TCP Packets. Correct! Reliable Data Transfer schemes.
A host starts a TCP transmission with an EstimatedRTT of 10.2ms (from the “handshake”). The host then sends 3 packets and records the RTT for each: SampleRTT1 = 39.7 ms SampleRTT2 = 37.8 ms SampleRTT3 = 19.4 ms (NOTE: SampleRTT1 is the “oldest”; SampleRTT3 is the most recent.) Using an exponential weighted moving average with a weight of 0.4 given to the most recent sample, what is the EstimatedRTT for packet #4? Give answer in miliseconds, rounded to one decimal place, without units, so for an answer of 0.01146 seconds, you would enter “11.5” without the quotes.

In host-inferred congestion control, congestion is detected based on delayed and/or dropped packets.
host inferred
UDP uses an additive-increase multiplicative-decrease (AIMD) system to manage flows.

Select the appropriate new CongWin sizes for the following TCP Reno congestion scenario. Assume ssthresh is initially set to 8 MSS: Connection Established with new server host. CongWin = ACK(s) received from first segment set. CongWin = ACK(s) received from next segment set. CongWin = 2 MSS ACK(s) received from next segment set. CongWin = ACK(s) received from next segment set. CongWin = ACK(s) received from next segment set. CongWin = Triple Duplicate ACK occurs. CongWin = , ssthresh = 4 MSS ACK(s) received from next segment set. CongWin =

Given a nodal delay of 64.7ms when there is no traffic on the network (i.e. usage = 0%), what is the effective delay when network usage = 94.6% ? (Give answer is miliseconds, rounded to one decimal place, without units. So for an answer of 0.10423 seconds you would enter “104.2” without the quotes). You Answered
