Assignment- 7
TYPE OF QUESTION: MCQ/MSQ
Number of questions: 10 Total mark: 10 X 1 = 10
Question 1
Which of the following is TRUE about TCP?
A. TCP sends traffic at a constant rate.

B. TCP ensures congestion will never occur in the network.
C. TCP is a physical layer protocol.
D. TCP detects congestion and acts accordingly to avoid it.
Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution: TCP congestion control algorithm does not ensure that congestion will
never happen in the network. Rather it first finds out whether there is congestion in the network,
and it updates its sending rate to avoid the congestion from the network.
Question 2
What is the role of “Scheduling” in the basic QoS architecture?
A. It regulates the outgoing traffic rate to control jitter.

B. Maintains queue and prioritizes packets into the outgoing buffer as per policy.
C. It marks packets according to their service type.
D. Detects which packets violate the QoS, and drops them.
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: The fourth step - traffic scheduling, based on the
markdown by different traffic policers, the scheduler schedule the traffic into output
buffers of an interface.
Question 3
Consider token bucket algorithm, with token arrival rate = packet arrival rate = r per second.
Bucket size is b. What is the maximum burst size (MBS) and the output rate?
A. rb and r+b
B. No burst and rb
C. No burst and r
D. r + b and rb
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: Since the rate of token arrival is same as rate of packet arrival, the bucket
will always have enough token to send the packets in the same rate they arrive. Therefore there
will not be any burst.
Question 4
In leaky bucket algorithm for traffic policing, consider a bucket of size 10, having leak rate of 5
per second. Given the arrival rate in the following table, how many packets will be dropped?
Start Time End Time Arrival Rate
0 2 5
2 5 9
5 6 0
6 12 6
12 14 0
A. 1
B. 3
C. 5
D. 7
Correct Answer: b
Question 5
Which combination of scheduling algorithms will ensure (i) guaranteed bandwidth as well as (ii)
less waiting time for latency sensitive application packets?
A. Custom Queueing with different queue sizes for different services and Priority Queueing
B. Weighted Fair Queueing and Priority Queueing
C. Two levels of Priority Queueing
D. Weighted Fair Queueing and Custom Queueing with different queue sizes for different
services
Correct Answer: a
Question 6
Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. TCP is Inelastic Traffic and therefore not preferred for real time video streaming.
B. TCP is Elastic Traffic and therefore preferred for real time video streaming.
C. UDP is Elastic Traffic and therefore preferred for real time video streaming.
D. UDP is Inelastic Traffic and therefore preferred for real time video streaming.
Correct Answer: d
Question 7
When applying Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm for congestion avoidance, what will
be the packet dropping probability when the current queue length k is 38, 46, and 65.
Given minimum threshold - MinThresh = 40 and maximum threshold - MaxThresh = 60 and
maximum packet dropping probability Maxp = 1.
A. 0, 0.3, 1
B. 0, 0.3, 1.25
C. 0.1, 0.3, 0.5
D. -0.1, 0.3, 1.25
Correct Answer: a
Question 8
Which of the following statements about Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is FALSE ?
A. RSVP is difficult to implement in the internet because it requires coordination among

intermediate routers.
B. All the RSVP daemons in all the intermediate routers in an end-to-end path need to
coordinate with each other.
C. RSVP uses differentiated services field in the IP header for traffic classification.
D. RSVP is a protocol of the Integrated Service (IntServ) QoS architecture.
Correct Answer: c
Question 9
In differentiated service architecture (DiffServ), what scheduling technique can be used to
implement Expedited Forwarding (EF) ?
A. Priority Queueing
B. Weighted Fair Queueing
C. Custom Queueing with different queue sizes
D. Combination of Weighted Fair Queueing and Custom Queueing with different queue
sizes
Correct Answer: a
Question 10
Which is TRUE about differentiated service architecture (DiffServ) and Integrated Service
(IntServ) QoS architecture.
A. IntServ is based on per hop QoS control

B. DiffServ differentiates packets based on 8 bit differentiated services field in the IP
header.
C. IntServ differentiates packets based on 8 bit differentiated services field in the IP header.
D. DiffServ maintains end to end QoS based on service agreement.
Correct Answer: c
