Answer of the HW

1. Answer of the HW Chapter 3

2. Answer of the HW • P 287 3 checksum • check sum 11101101 • To detect errors, the receiver adds the four words (the three original words and the checksum). If the sum contains a zero, the receiver knows there has been an error. All one-bit errors will be detected, but two-bit errors can be undetected (e.g., if the last digit of the first word is converted to a 0 and the last digit of the second word is converted to a 1). can detect 1-bit error

3. Answer of the HW • P289 16 • GBN • 每个分组携带SN； 采用累积确认机制；收方丢弃乱序到达分组 • a. [k-3,k-2,k-1,k,k+1,k+2] • 当Sender发送的三个分组均到达Receiver, Receiver发送了ACK，但3个ACK没有到达Sender。此时，Sender窗口中等待确认的分组序号k-1,k-2,k-3； • 当Sender收到了Receiver对前面所发送分组(<=k-1)的确认，则Sender窗口中等待确热的分组序号可为k,k+1,k+2 • b. [k-3,k-2,k-1]

4. Answer of the HW • P290 20 • There are232 =4,294,967,296 possible sequence numbers. • a. The sequence number does not increment by 1 with each segment. Rather, is increments by the number of bytes of data sent. • The size of the MSS that can be sent from A to B is simply the number of bytes representable by 232bytes. • b. The number of segments is . 66 bytes of header get added to each segment giving a total of 194,156,094 bytes of header. The total number of bits transmitted is : (232+194,156,094)*8=3591X107 • Thus it would take 3,591 seconds = 59 minutes to transmit the file over a 10~Mbps link.

5. Answer of the HW • P290 21 • a)

6. Answer of the HW • P290 21 • b) • c) • The weight given to past samples decays exponentially.

7. Answer of the HW P291 27 • TCP slow-start is operating in the intervals [1,6] and [23,26]. • TCP congestion avoidance is operating in the intervals [6,16] and [17,22]. • Packet loss is recognized by a triple duplicate ACK. If there was a timeout, the congestion window size would have dropped to 1. • After the 22nd transmission round, segment loss is detected due to timeout, and hence the congestion window size is set to 1. • The threshold is initially 32, since it is at this window size that slow-start stops and congestion avoidance begins. • The threshold is set to half the value of the congestion window when packet loss is detected. When loss is detected during transmission round 16, the congestion windows size is 42. Hence the threshold is 21 during the 18th transmission round.

8. Answer of the HW P291 27 • The threshold is set to half the value of the congestion window when packet loss is detected. When loss is detected during transmission round 22, the congestion windows size is 26. Hence the threshold is 13 during the 24th transmission round. • During the 1st transmission round, packet 1 is sent; packet 2-3 are sent in the 2nd transmission round; packets 4-7 are sent in the 3rd transmission round; packets 8-15 are sent in the 4th transmission round; packets15-31 are sent in the 5th transmission round; packets 32-63 are sent in the 6th transmission round; packets 64 – 96 are sent in the 7th transmission round. Thus packet 70 is sent in the 7thtransmission round. • The congestion window and threshold will be set to half the current value of the congestion window (8) when the loss occurred. Thus the new values of the threshold and window will be 4.
