- Discuss
the relationship between the bit-rate, cable length, and minimum frame
size in a CSMA/CD MAC protocol. Besides giving the formula, provide a detailed
explanation (including figures) justifying the formula.
- Starbucks
would like to allow IPhone users to be able to
use their IPhones on the Starbucks wireless
network. How can the Starbucks access point determine if the end host is
an IPhone?
- (optional) (self-learning,
ARP, DNS, TCP, and HTTP) Consider the topology shown here.
Suppose no frames have been sent in the LAN for a long time so all tables are
empty. Now suppose that the host with IP address 10.0.0.1 wants to request
a web page from the Google server, where the web page can be contained in
a single TCP segment. Detail which packets are sent and what the impact on
the various tables for each packet. Use one worksheet for each packet or frame sent. Do this up to the third IP packet sent by
the host. (Hint: save the worksheet to disk. Open the worksheet in PowerPoint.
As tables are filled, copy the slide for the next packet.)
