Question 2 [5 marks]
Match the name of an internet layer (on the left) with unit of data that is exchanged among protocol
entities at that layer (on the right).

Application layer Datagram Network layer

Transport layer Bit Physical layer

Network layer Segment Transport layer

Link layer Frame Link layer

Physical layer Message Application layer


Question 3 [5 marks]

Which of the following functions correspond to packet switching or circuit switching.


Add in the table packet switching or circuit switching.

Reserves resources needed for a call Circuit


from source to destination. switching
Resources are used on demand not Packet
reserved on advance. switching
Data may be queued before being Packet
transmitted due to other users’ data switching
that ‘s also queueing for transmission.
FDM and TDM are two ways to Circuit
implement this approach. switching
Congestion and packet loss are Packet
possible. switching

Question 4 [4 marks]
Any application provided by the application layer uses the services provided by the
transport layer that are UDP or TCP, explain based on which criteria the choice
between UDP or TCP is made, give examples supporting your answer.

TCP is chosen if the application requires reliability, and it is not time sensitive
UDP in case of time sensitive application that do not require reliability. For example,
file transfer requires reliability but it does not have strict timing requirements,
whereas video streaming can tolerate some lo9ss but it is sensitive to timing.
Question 5 [6 Marks]

Consider the figure below with the three links, each with a specified transmission rate
and length. The length of the packet is 8000 bits and the speed propagation of the light
signal on each link is 3x108 m/s.

Calculate the total delay of each link.

Link 1 transmission delay = L/R = 8000 bits / 100 Mbps = 0.08 msec

Link 1 propagation delay = d/s = 1000m / 3*10^8 m/sec = 0.0033 msec

Link 1 total delay = 0.0803 msec

Link 2 transmission delay = L/R = 8000 bits / 10 Mbps = 0.8 msec

Link 2 propagation delay = d/s = 5 10^6 / 3*10^8 m/sec = 16.6 ms

Link 2 total delay = 17.4 msec

Link 3 transmission delay = L/R = 8000 bits / 1000 Mbps = 0.008 msec

Link 3 propagation delay = d/s = 3000 / 3*10^8 m/sec = 0.01 msec

Link 3 total delay = d_t + d_p = 0.008 msec + 0.01msec = 0.018 msec
