2. (@). An organisation owns the IP address blocks 192.168.16.0/24 and 192.168.17.0/24. It has
created a network consisting of 400 hosts using these two blocks.
i. What is the subnet mask of this network in CIDR notation?

(b). An experiment was conducted on a channel connecting the machine X to Y. Randomly gen-
erated 10° bits were sent on this channel from X to ¥ during this experiment and it was
observed that only 999000 bits were received at Y without any errors. Alll the other bits
were flipped by the time they reached X. Equal number of 1 and 0 bits were in the correctly
received bits and the same ratio was observed in the flipped set of bits as well.
Later, it was decided to use this channel to send messages from X to Y using the following
encoding. The message bit 1 is sent encoded as 11 and the message bit 0 is sent encoded as
00 on this channel.
i. The message bit 1 is encoded and sent on this channel. What is the probability that the
receiver receives the message correctly?
[3 marks]
ii, The data bit 0 is encoded and sent on this channel what is the probability that the receiver
incorrectly decode the received string and receive the wrong data?
[4 marks]
iii, A one bit message is encoded and sent on this channel. What is the probability that the
receiver discards the received string?

(©). A machine M has two network interfaces. One interface is connected to a network that uses
private IP address. The other interface is connected to the public Internet. Users of the
private network require Internet access for web browsing. Several web sites that serves static
content are quite popular among the users of the machines on the private network. What is,
the most suitable technology to be used on the machine M to provide Internet access to the
machines on the private network? Justify your answer.

3. (a). The following diagram shows the encapsulation of application data in the OSI network pro-
tocol stack. Assume that the application is using UDP as the Layer 4 protocol.
A,B (Layer 2) | C, D (Layer 3) |_E, F (Layer 4) Application Data
i. State the name of the layers used in the OSI protocol stack for Layer 2, Layer 3, and
Layer 4 and their corresponding protocol data unit (PDU),

ii, A,B, C, D, E, and F are the most important information used in each layer to identify
the parties which are communicating. List down each of them in the correct order as
their in the relevant PDU headers.

iii, A precedes B in the Layer 2 PDU header. Explain the reason for arranging A and B in
this order.

(©). There is a web page with 5 jpeg images. Consider the round tip time (RTT) as T’ and the
time taken to transmit any object from the server to the client is ¢. Calculate the total time
taken for the communication if the client uses HTTP/I.1 protocol.

4, (a). Consider the following network setup.
A network administrator tries to execute the following command to assign IP addresses on
PCI.
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
But an error prompted as the ifconfig command is not available,
i, What could be the reason for this error message?
