Differentiate among circuit switching, packet switching and message switching with one example Explain the three way of handshake for connection establishment in TCP Explain connection oriented and connectionless services. What do you mean by congestion? Discuss the open-loop and closed-loop congestion control mechanism ? For a given class C network 195.188.65.0 design the equal subnets in such a way that each subnet has at least 50 nodes. What is the purpose of ARP and RARP? What is the size of Ethernet frame carrying an ARP packet? Explain Hub, Switch and Bridge with the help of suitable block diagram Define Subnetting. Define Supernetting Explain flow control and congestion control in connection oriented service Explain dynamic buffer allocation at transport layer with suitable example. Explain UDP header format and two applications of UDP. Define Quality of Service List and discuss the performance issues of transport layer Differentiate between distance vector routing and link state routing. What is NAT ? Where and why it is used ? Explain its operation with suitable example. Consider any class - C network with default subnet mask. How many actual hosts can be connected in that network ? Divide that network into 4 equal subnets. What is the new subnet mask? How many hosts can be connected in eachsubnet ?
