    The document is an assignment for a digital communications and networks course that provides 5 questions about TCP and UDP protocols: 1) The source and destination port numbers are reversed for segments travelling from Host B to Host A in a TCP connection between Host A and Host B. 2) An application developer might choose UDP over TCP if reliability is not required, to reduce overhead, or for real-time applications like voice calls. 3) It is possible for an application running over UDP to have reliable data transfer if it implements its own reliability mechanisms like acknowledgments and retransmissions. 4) For the first TCP segment: a) The data is 20 bytes. b) The acknowledgment number will be 110

    Assignment 2(CLO 1)
    Digital Communication and Networks
    Fall 2019
    Submission: 23rd Oct 2019
     

    Homework Problems and Questions

    Write brief answers of the following

    1. Consider a TCP connection between Host A and Host B. Suppose that the TCP segments
    travelling from Host A to Host B have source port number “x” and destination port
    number “y”. What are the source and destination port numbers for the segments travelling
    from Host B to Host A.

    2. Describe why an application developer might choose to run an application over UDP
    rather than TCP.

    3. Is it possible for an application to enjoy reliable data transfer even when the application
    runs over UDP? If so, how?

    4. Suppose Host A sends two TCP segments back to back to Host B over a TCP connection.
    The first segment has sequence number 90; the second has sequence number 110.

    a) How much data is in the first segment?

    b) Suppose that the first segment is lost but the second segment arrives at B. In the
    acknowledgment that Host B sends to Host A, what will be the acknowledgement
    number?

    5. UDP and TCP use 1s complement for their checksums. Suppose you have the following
    three 8 bit bytes: 01010011, 01100110, 01110100. What is the 1s complement of the sum
    of these 8 bit bytes? (Note that although UDP and TCP use 16 bit words in computing the
    checksum, for this problem you are being asked to consider 8 bit sums). Compute the
    checksum. Show all work. What does the receiver do with the checksum?
