INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Assume appropriate data and state your reasons
(2) Marks are given to the right of every question
(3) Draw neat diagrams wherever necessary


Solve any four Q1 (a,b,c,d,e)
1(a) Explain PPP header format.
5 M
1(b) Compare TCP and UDP.
5 M
1(c) List the categories of UTP cables.How is noise interfereance minimized in twisted pair cables?
5 M
1(d) Distinguish between OSPF and BGP.
5 M
1(e) Whatis sub netting? List advantages and disadvantages of the same.
5 M

2(a) Lsit and explain different ARQ techniques. Specify the maximum window size for ezch with justification.
10 M
2(b) What is piggybacking? Give an example of piggybacked frame. Sketch the appropriate HDLC frames for the following scenario involving primary station 'A' and two secondary stations B and C:
i) Primary station A wishes to establish a Normal Response mode link with secondary stations D And C.
ii) Both the stations B and C send positive ackowledments to A
iii) Station A sends a polling command to B and B sends 4 data frames. The third frame is lost during transmission.
iv) Assuming selective repeat ARQ, station A sends, negative acknowledgement to station B.
v) Station B resends the frame and A sends positive acknowledgment.
vi) Station A now polls station C and station C reponds with ready response. A send three data frames to C and C sends positive acknowledgement to indicate the receipt of error free data frames.
10 M

3(a) Differentiate between IPV4 and IPV6. Determine the class and network address for the following IP address ( Assuming subnetting is not being used and use default mask) i) 84.42.58.11 ii) 195.38.14.13 iii) 144.62.12.9
10 M
3(b) What is meant by 'blocking' in circuit switching networks? Bring out the advantages of multi stage space division switching over single stage switching.
4 M
3(c) Sketch three stage space divison swicth for N=15, n=5 and k=2 What is condition required to make it non blocking? For the same specifications, sketch three stage TST switch using TSI modules.
6 M

4(a) Draw OSI reference model and explain function of each layer. Name the layers responsible for: i) end to end reliability ii) link to link reliability.
10 M
4(b) Define the utilization or efficiency of the line and derive the expression for stop and wait flow control. Calculate the maximum link utilization for tthe following cases:
i) stop and wait flow control
ii) Siding window flow control with window sizes of 4 and 7 link specifications: Frame length = 1000bits/frame Velocity of propagation =2×108m/sec Link distance = 20km Data rate = 20Mbps
10 M

6(a) Congestion control techniques
10 M
6(b) ADSL
10 M
6(c) TCP connection establishment and release
10 M
6(d) CSMA/CD
10 M
