protocol to be used between an automatic teller machine (ATM) and a banks centralized computer (BCC):
users card and password to be verified the account balance (at BCC) to be queried money disbursed to the user handle all-too-common case in which there is not enough money in the account to cover the withdrawal
Project e-2
Step1: Specification
Specify the protocol by listing the msgs exchanged and the action taken by the ATM or the BCC on transmission and receipt of the msgs
The user requests balance User asks to withdrawl money BCC checks the operation

secure connection required between client(ATM), server(BCC) data cannot be loss or received in wrong order the total amount of data transferred is small this application cannot congest the network it is not really time sensitive the msgs sent are few and small

Would a packet-switched network or a circuit-switched network be more appropriate for this application? Why? b) Suppose that a packet-switching network is used and the only traffic in this network comes from such applications as described above. Furthermore, assume that the sum of the application data rates is less than the capacities of each and every link. Is some form of congestion control needed? Why?
a)
Consider an application that transmits data at a steady rate (for example, the sender generates a N-bit unit of data every k time units, where k is small and fixed). Also, when such an application starts, it will stay on for a relatively long period of time. Answer the following questions, briefly justifying your answer:

Ex3: Delay
Consider two hosts, Host A and B, connected
by a single link of rate R bps. Suppose that the two hosts are separated by m meters, and suppose the propagation speed along the link is s meters/sec. Host A is to send a packet of size L bits to B.
L bits R bps m meters

terms of m and s. dprop = distance/speed = m/s seconds. Determine the transmission time of the packets, dtrans, in terms of L and R. dtrans = packet-lenght/rate = L/R seconds. Ignoring processing and queuing delays, obtain an expression for the end-to-end delay. dend-to-end = dprop+ dtrans= m/s + L/R seconds
