Consider a source computer (S) transmitting a file of size 10⁶ bits to a destination computer (D) over a network of two routers (R₁ and R₂) and three links (L₁, L₂, and L₃). L₁ connects S to R₁; L₂ connects R₁ to R₂; and L₃ connects R₂ to D. Let each link be of length 100 km. Assume signals travel over each line at a speed of 10⁸ meters per second. Assume that the link bandwidth on each link is 1 Mbps. Let the file be broken down into 1000 packets each of size 1000 bits. Find the total sum of transmission and propagation delays in transmitting the file from S to D?

Which of the following transport layer protocols is used to support electronic mail?

Consider an instance of TCP’s Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) algorithm where the window size at the start of the slow start phase is 2 MSS and the threshold at the start of the first transmission is 8 MSS. Assume that a timeout occurs during the fifth transmission. Find the congestion window size at the end of the tenth transmission.
