    Assignment # 2
    Assignment deadline Wednesday, 25th September 2019, 11:00 PM
    Read Guidelines carefully

    Question # 01

    Consider the two scenarios below:

     A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 25


    Mbps, must share a link of capacity 200 Mbps.
     A packet-switching scenario with Nps users sharing a 200 Mbps link, where each
    user again requires 25 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 30
    percent of the time.

    Answer the following questions:

    a. When circuit switching is used, what is the maximum number of circuit-switched


    users that can be supported? Explain your answer.
    b. For the remainder of this problem, suppose packet switching is used. Suppose
    there are 15 packet-switching users (i.e., Nps = 15). Can this many users be
    supported under circuit-switching? Explain.
    c. What is the probability that a given (specific) user is transmitting, and the
    remaining users are not transmitting?
    d. What is the probability that one user (any one among the 15 users) is
    transmitting, and the remaining users are not transmitting? When one user is
    transmitting, what fraction of the link capacity will be used by this user?
    e. What is the probability that more than 8 users are transmitting? Comment on
    what this implies about the number of users supportable under circuit switching
    and packet switching.

    Question # 02

    Consider the figure below, in which a single router is transmitting packets, each of
    length L bits, over a single link with transmission rate R Mbps to another router at the
    other end of the link.

    Suppose that the packet length is L= 8000 bits, and that the link transmission rate along
    the link to router on the right is R = 1 Mbps.

    (a) What is the transmission delay (the time needed to transmit all of a packet's bits into
    the link)? (b) What is the maximum number of packets per second that can be
    transmitted by the link?

    Question # 03

    Consider the figure below, with three links, each with the specified transmission rate
    and link length.

    of Computer & Emerging Sciences-Faisalabad

    Find the end-to-end delay (including the transmission delays and propagation delays on
    each of the three links, but ignoring queuing delays and processing delays) from when
    the left host begins transmitting the first bit of a packet to the time when the last bit of
    that packet is received at the server at the right. The speed of light propagation delay on
    each link is 3x10**8 m/sec. Note that the transmission rates are in Mbps and the link
    distances are in Km. Assume a packet length of 16000 bits. Give your answer in
    milliseconds.

    Question # 04

    Consider the scenario shown below, with four different servers connected to four
    different clients over four three-hop paths. The four pairs share a common middle hop
    with a transmission capacity of R = 300 Mbps. The four links from the servers to the
    shared link have a transmission capacity of RS = 70 Mbps. Each of the four links from
    the shared middle link to a client has a transmission capacity of RC = 20 Mbps per
    second. What is the maximum achievable end-end throughput (in Mbps) for each of four
    client-to-server pairs, assuming that the middle link is fair-shared (i.e., divides its
    transmission rate equally among the four pairs)?

    1. Which link is the bottleneck link for each session?


    2. Assuming that the senders are sending at the maximum rate possible, what are
    the link utilizations for the sender links (RS), client links (RC), and the middle link
    (R)?

    accepted via email, Facebook or USB flash drive etc.
     Do not zip your assignment it should be uploaded as individual file in following
    format.
     "RollNo_Assignment_No.doc"
     Paste all the required outputs in the single .doc file.
     Deadlines should be kept in mind no extension in assignment dates
     This is an individual assignment. PLAGARISM IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!
     Follow the instructions as it is, otherwise your assignment would not be accepted at
    all.
