Question 1 • The efficiency of ALOHA – When there are N active nodes the efficiency of slotted ALOHA is Np(1 -p)^{N-1}, find the value p that maximizes the expression – Using the value of p found in (a), find the efficiency of slotted ALOHA by letting N approach infinity.

solution

Maximum efficiency of pure ALOHA • Show that the maximum efficiency of pure ALOHA is 1/(2 e)

solution

Question 2 • Consider a broadcast channel with N nodes and a transmission rate of R bps. Suppose the broadcast channel uses polling for multiple access. Suppose the amount of time from when a node completes transmission until the subsequent node is permitted to transmit(that is, the polling delay) is t_poll. Suppose that within a polling round, a given node is allowed to transmit at most Q bits. What is the maximum throughput of the broadcast channel?

Question 3 • Consider three LANs interconnected by two routers below. • A) redraw the diagram to include the adapters • B) Assign IP addresses to all of the interfaces. For Subnet 1 use addresses of the form 111. xxx; for subnet 2 uses addresses of the form 122. 222. xxx; and for Subnet 3 use addresses of the form 133. xxx • c) assign MAC addresses to all the adapters

• D. consider sending an IP datagram from Host A to Host F. Suppose all of the ARP tables are up to date. Enumerate all the steps as done for the single router example
