Q.1) Attempt all Parts :


(a) Using CRC as an error detection technique, what is the FCS obtained if message M(x) is 1001, and
generator polynomial G(x) is x3+x+1. Show all steps.
(b) Define throughput. A network with bandwidth of 10 Mbps can pass 12000 frames per minute.
Calculate the throughput of this network. Assume 1 frame contains 10000 bits.
(c) Define noise as a transmission impairment. The power of a signal is 10 mW and the power of noise
is 1 µW. Calculate the value of SNRdB.
(d) The distance between source and destination is 9 * 10 10 m. Calculate the channel utilization if a stop-
and-wait protocol is used for transmission on a 64 Mbps channel. Assume frame size to be 32 KB
and speed of light is 3 * 108 m/s.

Q.2) Attempt all Parts :


(a) Draw and explain the working of virtual circuit networks.
(b) A server has an IP address of 160.36.30.110 and subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. Find directed
broadcast address and subnet address. Show all calculations.
(c) Explain the need for Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR). List the rules for forming CIDR blocks.
(d) Answer the following for IPv4 header:
i. An IPv4 header contains 0100 0101 as its first 8 bits. Calculate the size of this IP header (in
bytes).
ii. In an IPv4 header, MF bit is set to 1 and Fragment Offset is set to 0. Explain what does it
signify.

Q.3) Attempt any two parts :


(a) Explain the need for layered network architecture. Discuss the main functions of physical layer, data
link layer, and transport layer.
(b) Explain error control in data link layer. What does the number on the ACK frame and NAK frame
mean for the following ARQ schemes?
i. Stop and wait ARQ
ii. Go-Back-N ARQ
iii. Selective repeat ARQ
(c) Draw and explain the frame format of Classic Ethernet. Explain the advantages of switched ethernet
over classic ethernet.

Q.4) Attempt any two parts :


(a) Explain iterative DNS query and recursive DNS query. Draw suitable diagrams for both type of
queries. Consider a situation in which all the DNS servers in the world crash simultaneously. Explain
how does this change one’s ability to use the Internet?
(b) Explain and draw the process of TCP connection establishment and TCP connection release. Name
and explain the purpose of each of the six flags in the TCP header.
(c) Explain and draw the architecture of an email system. Discuss the functions of all involved protocols.

Q.5) Attempt any two parts :


(a) Consider a network with 6 routers: A, B, C, D, E, & F. Router F has three neighbors, B, D, & E.
Distance vector routing is used. The following distance vectors have just arrived at router F (in the
same order): from router B: (5,0,8,12,6,2); from router D: (16,12,6,0,9,10), & from router E:
