Computer networks miscellaneous

  1. A link has a transmission speed of 106 bits/sec. It uses data packets of size 1000 bytes each. Assume that the acknowledgement has negligible transmission delay, and that its propagation delay is the same as the data propagation delay. Also assume that the processing delays at nodes are negligible. The efficiency of the stop-and-wait protocol in this setup is exactly 25%. The value of the oneway propagation delay(in milliseconds) is _______.
    1. 10ms
    2. 12 ms
    3. 15ms
    4. 2 ms
Correct Option: B

Given, B = 106 bps
L = 1000 bytes
h = 25%
Tp = ?

In stop-and-wait, η =
1
1 + 2a

1
=
1
= 1 + 2a = 4
41 + 2a

2a = 3 ; a =
3
2

Tx =
L
=
8 × 103
= 8 ms
B106

Tp
=
3
; 2Tp = 3T
Tx2

2Tp = 24 ms
Tp = 12 ms
