Question

using the above diagram,
c) how long does it take to move the file from source host to destination host when message segmentation is used?
d) does it make a difference on whether path R1 or R2 is chosen for transmission or whether path R3 or R4 is chosen? if both paths are being used, does it take more or less time to move the file from source to destination using segmentation? Justify your answer.
e) what is the throughput of each path? what is the total throughput from client to server?

1) In modern packet-switched networks, including the Internet, the source host segments long application-layer messages (for example, an image or a music file) into smaller packets and sends the packets into the network. The receiver then reassembles the packets back into the original message. We refer to this process as message segmentation. For this exercise we will use the network architecture provided in the figure below, were Rs, Rc and R,for i 11,2,3,4), the transmission rates of the server link, client link and intermediate network links. Consider a message that is 60 106 bits long that is to be sent from client to server. Ignore propagation, queuing, and processing delays. Client Server R2 Re R. R, R,

Explanation / Answer

C) time taken in seconds will be 60 * 10^6 / interface speed

D) the bottel neck is min of interface speed between client and router and server and router not the interlinks so transission will take same time if both the paths are equal cost.

e) through put will be max(min(Rc,R1,R2,R5),min(Rc,R3,R4,R5))
