Exercise1:
Every day, a teleworker transmits data to his company's server via a modem connected to the PSTN(Switched
telephony network) network, operating at a bit rate of 33 Kbits/s. The daily connection, lasting 2 minutes,
takes place in 3 stages:
- an identification phase during which the user sends his ID (20 bytes) and password (10 bytes),
- file transmission (20 Kbytes),
- Sending a disconnection command (2 bytes).
Calculate the activity rate? What comments can be made?

Exercise2
Two computers A and B are interconnected by a communication line. A transmits to B a binary string of 2200
bits. Each frame can only contain 16 Kbits. Network interfaces manage communication using the
wait/response protocol.
a) Draw a time diagram of the transmissions that will enable the transfer of the binary chain between the two
computers.
b) Draw a time diagram of the transmissions that will allow the transfer of the binary chain between the two
computers if an error is detected when the first frame is received.
c)Draw a time diagram of the transmissions that will enable the transfer of the binary chain between the two
computers in the event of a line failure during the transfer of the first frame acknowledgement.

Exercise 3
The HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control) protocol is a level 2 (data link) protocol of the OSI model. It is
a bit-oriented communication protocol developed by ISO to ensure reliable data transfer between two nodes.
HDLC supports :
 encapsulation of data in frames
 error detection
 flow control
 transmission control (synchronization, acknowledgements, etc.)
HDLC frame structure
| Address | Control | Information | FCS | Flag

 Flag: 01111110 (frame start/end delimiter)


 Address: identifies the recipient (useful in multi-drop configurations)
 Control: depends on frame type (I, S or U)
 Information: user data (present in some frames)
 FCS: Frame Check Sequence (CRC for error detection)
Frame types
1. I (Information) frames: For data transport and integrated acknowledgements.
2. S (Supervision) frames: For acknowledgements, flow control, etc.
3. U (Unnumbered) frames: For connection establishment, management or termination.
HDLC operating modes
 Normal Response Mode (NRM): master-slave mode
 Asynchronous Response Mode (ARM): greater freedom for secondary units
 Asynchronous Balanced Mode (ABM): balanced mode (point-to-point, both sides can initiate
communication)
1. Frames I (Information)
Control field format (8 bits in normal mode, 16 bits possible in extension) :
| N(S) | 0 | N(R) | P/F |
L2 SC Univ-SA Networks

 N(S) (3 bits) : Sending sequence number


 0 : Indicates an I frame
 N(R) (3 bits) : Expected acknowledgement number (ACK)
 P/F (1 bit) : Poll/Final bit
 Poll (P): used by the sender to request an immediate response
 Final (F): used by the receiver to say "I'm finished".
Example: 100 0 011 1 → N(S)=4, N(R)=3, P/F=1 → "Here's #4 frame and waiting for #3."
2. S frames (Supervision)
Format:
| 10 | S-code | N(R) | P/F |
 10: Indicates an S frame
 S-code (2 bits) : Supervision type :
 00 : RR (Receive Ready) - ready to receive
 01: RNR (Receive Not Ready)
 10: REJ (Reject)
 11: SREJ (Selective Reject - optional)
 N(R): Expected frame number
 P/F : Poll/Final
Example: 10 00 100 1 → RR, waiting for frame #4
3. U (Unnumbered) frames
Format:
| 11 | U-code (5 bits) | P/F |
 11: U frame
 U code: combination of bits indicating commands such as :
 SABM (Set Asynchronous Balanced Mode)
 DISC (Disconnect)
 UA (Unnumbered Acknowledgment)
 DM (Disconnected Mode)
 P/F : Poll/Final
Example: 11 00110 1 → SABM with Poll bit active
Application:
a) A DTE (Data transmission equipement) is contacted by another DTE for a data exchange. During this
exchange, it receives the following binary string:
011111100101111100010100010111110101010000111010110111111001111110010111110101001011110010
100110000011111100111111001011111010001101110011001110010101111110
Extract the frames contained in this binary string.
b) Perform binary transparency processing on the frames extracted in a)
c) Analyze each frame to determine its type and meaning
Exercise 4:
An SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) specialized in online sales has the following structure:
- An administrative department, housed in a building(A), with 8 workstations in 5 offices and an Internet-
connected server dedicated to customer order-taking,
- An order management department, located in another building (B), 120 meters from building (A), using 4
workstations,
- A storage room, located in building (B), housing an inventory management server connected to 4
workstations via an old token ring network.
L2 SC Univ-SA Networks

a) We want to set up a local network between the 9 computers in the administrative department (workstations
and server). Choose a network standard suited to this situation
b) List the network components required for this installation
c) Propose 3 solutions for connecting the 4 order management workstations to the local network set up in
question b).
d) propose a solution for interconnecting the local network created in the previous question with the one
already in place in the storage room,
e) How to use a firewall to secure access to a server connected to the Internet?

Exercise 5:

a) the above network is not standardized. Explain why


b) propose 3 solutions to standardize it
