Assignment Questions

Section A: Conceptual Understanding & Critical Thinking

1. OSI vs TCP/IP Reference Models


Critically analyze the design philosophy behind the OSI and TCP/IP models. Discuss the
layered approach in both. Which model better supports protocol interoperability, and
why?
2. Real-World Network Architecture
Investigate ARPANET as a case study. Explain how it contributed to the evolution of
today’s Internet. What were the design challenges faced during its development?

Section B: Mathematical & Technical Problem Solving

3. Transmission Time and Bandwidth Calculation


A data packet of 10,000 bits is to be transmitted over a fiber optic link of 10 Mbps.
a. Calculate the transmission time.
b. If the medium introduces a delay of 2 ms/km and the cable is 50 km long, calculate the
total delay (transmission + propagation).
c. Discuss the impact of delay in high-speed networks.
4. Error Detection: CRC
Given a dataword 10110011 and a generator polynomial 1001,
a. Compute the CRC code and the transmitted frame.
b. Show the error detection mechanism by simulating a 1-bit error in the transmitted
frame.

Section C: Protocol Behavior Analysis


5. Sliding Window Protocol Simulation
Consider a Go-Back-N protocol with window size 4 and sequence numbers modulo 8.
a. Simulate the transmission of 10 frames.
b. Assume frame 5 is lost. Show how retransmission is handled.
c. How does this differ from Selective Repeat?
6. ALOHA and Efficiency Analysis
a. Derive the formula for throughput of Pure ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA using
probability theory.
b. Compute the maximum efficiency of both.
c. Discuss why ALOHA protocols are not ideal for modern networks.

Section D: Design-Based Problem Solving

7. Design a Small Campus Network


Design a basic network layout (LAN) for a college department with the following
features:
o 1 Server
o 20 Client Machines
o Internet access
o Wireless access in faculty rooms
a. Choose appropriate transmission media and justify.
b. Identify the network devices required (switch, router, access point).
c. Draw a network diagram and explain data flow from a client to the server.
