Consider the following multi-threaded code segment (in a mix of C and pseudo-code), invoked by two processes P1 and P2, and each of the processes spawns two threads T1 and T2:

int x = 0; // global

Lock L1; // global

main() {

create a thread to execute foo(); // Thread T1

create a thread to execute foo(); // Thread T2

wait for the two threads to finish execution;

print (x);

}

foo() {

int y = 0;

Acquire L1;

x = x + 1;

y = y + 1;

Release L1;

print (y);

}

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.

Both P1 and P2 will print the value of x as 2.

At least one of P1 and P2 will print the value of x as 4.

At least one of the threads will print the value of y as 2.

Both T1 and T2, in both the processes, will print the value of y as 1.

Consider a computer system with multiple shared resource types, with one instance per resource type. Each instance can be owned by only one process at a time. Owning and freeing of resources are done by holding a global lock (L). The following scheme is used to own a resource instance:

function OwnResource(Resource R) Acquire lock L // a global lock if R is available then Acquire R Release lock L else if R is owned by another process P then Terminate P, after releasing all resources owned by P Acquire R Restart P Release lock L end if end if end function

Which of the following choice(s) about the above scheme is/are correct?

Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.

The scheme ensures that deadlocks will not occur.

The scheme may lead to live-lock.

The scheme may lead to starvation.

The scheme violates the mutual exclusion property.

A TCP server application is programmed to listen on port number

on host

. A TCP client is connected to the TCP server over the network. Consider that while the TCP connection was active, the server machine

crashed and rebooted. Assume that the client does not use the TCP keepalive timer. Which of the following behaviors is/are possible?

Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.

If the client was waiting to receive a packet, it may wait indefinitely.

The TCP server application on

can listen on

after reboot.

If the client sends a packet after the server reboot, it will receive a RST segment.

If the client sends a packet after the server reboot, it will receive a FIN segment.

Consider two hosts

and

connected through a router

. The maximum transfer unit (MTU) value of the link between

and

is 1500 bytes, and between

and

is 820 bytes. A TCP segment of size 1400 bytes was transferred from

through

, with IP identification value as 0x1234. Assume that the IP header size is 20 bytes. Further, the packet is allowed to be fragmented, i.e., Don’t Fragment (DF) flag in the IP header is not set by

. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.

Two fragments are created at

and the IP datagram size carrying the second fragment is 620 bytes.

If the second fragment is lost,

will resend the fragment with the IP identification value 0x1234.

If the second fragment is lost,

is required to resend the whole TCP segment.

TCP destination port can be determined by analysing only the second fragment.
