Question 5

Complete Consider the scenario in the figure below, in which three hosts are each
Mark 1.00 out of connected to a router by a 100 Mbps link, with an near-zero ms propagation
1.00 delay. That router in turn is connected to another router over a 30 Mbps link with
Flag a 50 ms propagation delay, and that latter router is connected to two remote
question
logging servers, each over a 20 Mbps link with a 10 ms propagation delay.

Suppose one of the hosts sends a message directly to one of the remote
logging servers. The message is 10K bits long. What is the end-to-end delay
from when the message is first transmitted by the host to when it is received at
the remote server? Assume that the request goes directly to the server, that there
are no queueing delays, and that node (router) packet-processing delays are also
zero.

Question 8

Complete Suppose Host A sends a few TCP segments back to back to Host B over a TCP
Mark 1.00 out of connection. The first segment has sequence number 90; the second has sequence number
1.00 110.

a. 20

b. 45

c. 90

d. 110

e. 200

Your answer is correct.

Question 10

Complete Suppose that a Web server runs in Host C on port 80. Suppose this Web server uses
Marked out of persistent connections, and is currently receiving requests from two different Hosts, A
1.00 and B. Are all of the requests being sent through the same socket at Host C? If they are
Flag being passed through different sockets, do both of the sockets have port 80? Discuss and
question
explain

 With a persistent connection, the web server creates a separate connection socket.
The four-tuple connection socket for each connection will contain the source IP
address, source port number, destination IP address, and destination port number. 

The request from host A and B pass through different sockets, because of how host C
reads the IP datagram. When host C receives the IP datagram it reads the four
tuples that were created in the persistent connection, which as created a separate
connection for each. Even though the socket will have 80 as is destination port the
identifiers for these sockets have different values for the source IP address. 

 Answer in 3.2 Web Servers and TCP

Question 11

Complete We have said that an application may choose UDP for a transport protocol
Marked out of because UDP offers finer application control (than TCP) of what data is sent in a
1.00 segment and when. (a). Why does an application have more control of what data
Flag is sent in a segment? (b). Why does an application have more control on when

Pre-Final

the segment is sent?

a.)  With UDP protocol the application has more control over what data is sent
because the data can be assigned directly by the application to the sending segment
before it is sent. 

b.) With UDP protocol the application has more control over when the segment is sent
because of the simplicity of UDP which will send the data as soon as possible
allowing it to be more predictable. 

Answer in 3.3 Connectionless Transport: UDP

Question 12

Complete In Section 2.7, the UDPserver described needed only one socket, whereas the
Marked out of TCPserver needed two sockets. Why? If the TCPserver were to support 5
1.00 simultaneous connections, each from a different client host, how many sockets
Flag would the TCPserver need?
question

For TCP, the welcoming socket is present unlike in UDP. Therefore, a socket is
created for each client to initiate a connection to the server. 

In order to support 5 simultaneous connection, the TCP server will need 6 sockets,
one more for the welcome socket. 

Answer in 2.7.2 Socket Programming with TCP

Question 18

Complete Describe how packet loss can occur at input ports. Describe how packet loss at
Marked out of input ports can be eliminated (without using infinite buffers).
1.00

Flag
question
Packet loss at input ports can occur by the size of the queue becoming too large.
When the speed of the switching fabric slows down the queue size will increase which
will fill up the buffer space of the router.

To eliminate packet loss we can increase the switching fabric speed by the number of
input ports times the input line speed. 

Answer in 4.3.4 Where Does Queueing Occur?

Question 19

Complete Describe how packet loss can occur at output ports. Can this loss be prevented
Marked out of by increasing the switch fabric speed?
1.00

Flag
question
Packet loss can occur at output ports when the size of the queue at the output ports
become too large and the outgoing speed slows down. With the increase in the size
of the queue, the buffering space of the router will fill up as the queue increases. 

This can not be prevented by increasing the switch fabric speed.

Your answer is incorrect.

Question 28

Complete Why is an ARP query sent within a broadcast frame? Why is an ARP response
Marked out of sent within a frame with a specific destination MAC address?
1.00

Flag
question
An ARP is sent in a broadcast frame because the host does not know the IP
address of the corresponding adapter. Whereas the response, the sending node
knows the adapter address for where it's being sent and therefore doesn't need to be
sent in a broadcast frame. 

 Answer is in 5.4.1 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Question 29

Complete Can you “decrypt” a hash of a message to get the original message? Explain
Marked out of your answer
1.00

Flag
question
No, because a hash function is a one-way function. With a hash function, the hash
value of the original message cannot be recovered. 

Answer is in 8.3.1 Cryptographic Hash Functions

Question 30

Complete List and explain two important difference between a symmetric-key system and a
Marked out of public-key system?

Symmetric-key system:

https://ilearn.csumb.edu/mod/quiz/review.php?attempt=788207&cmid=636060[6/12/2018 3:11:29 PM]

Pre-Final

Both the sender and receiver must know the same secret key.
The same key is used for both encryption and decryption. 

Public-key system:

 The encryption key is known by the entire world, but the decryption key is known
only by the receiver. 
The encryption and decryption keys are different.

Answer in 8.2.2 Public Key Encryption

Question 31

Complete In what way does the public-key encrypted message hash provide a better digital
Marked out of signature than the public-key encrypted message?
1.00

Flag
question
A public-key signed message digest is "better" in that one need only encrypt (using
the private key) a short message digest, rather than the entire message. Since public
key encryption with a technique like RSA is expensive, it's desirable to have to sign
(encrypt) a smaller amount of data than a larger amount of data.

Answer is in 8.3.3 Digital signatures

Question 32

Complete What does it mean for a signed document to be verifiable and non-forgeable
Marked out of
1.00

Flag To be verifiable the receiver must be able to convince themselves that the
question
document was sent by the sender.

To be non-forgeable the receiver must be able to convene themselves the document

could only have been sent by the sender and not anyone else. 

Answer is in 8.3.3 Digital signatures

Question 33

Complete Suppose Alice has a message that she is ready to send to anyone who asks.
Marked out of Thousands of people want to obtain Alice’s message, but each wants to be sure
1.00 of the integrity of the message. In this context, do you think a MAC-based or a
Flag digital-signature-based integrity scheme is more suitable? Why ?
question

A digital signature based integrity scheme is more suitable because Alice can use the
same digital signature for all receivers. Also, a digital signature based integrity
scheme is verifiable and non-forgeable.
