CS2NAT2 marksNeeds review
It is necessary to design a link-layer protocol between two hosts that are directly connected over a lossless link of length 300 kilometers. Assume that the link bandwidth is
bits per second and that the propagation delay in the link is 5 nanoseconds per meter. Every transmitted data byte is assigned a unique sequence number.Let
be the minimum number of bits needed for the sequence number field in the protocol header such thati. the sequence numbers do not wrap around before 60 seconds, and
ii. the maximum utilization of the link is achieved.
