Which of the following delay is faced by the packet in travelling from one end system to another?

A. Propagation delay
B. Queuing delay
C. Transmission delay
D. All of the mentioned

Explanation: When a packet has to travel from one end system to another, it first faces the queuing delay when there are multiple packets which are to be sent, then it faces the transmission delay to convert the packet into bits to be transmitted, and then it faces the propagation delay to propagate the bits through the physical medium.

For a 10Mbps Ethernet link, if the length of the packet is 32bits, the transmission delay is ____________ (in microseconds)

A. 3.2
B. 32
C. 0.32
D. 320

Explanation: Transmission rate = length / transmission rate = 32/10 = 3.2 microseconds.

The time required to examine the packet’s header and determine where to direct the packet is part of __________

A. Processing delay
B. Queuing delay
C. Transmission delay
D. Propagation delay

Explanation: Processing delay is induced at a router’s or other network processor’s end in the path of the packet and is caused by the time taken by the processor to examine the packet’s header to decide the further path of the packet.

Given L = number of bits in the packet, a = average rate and R = transmission rate. The Traffic intensity in the network is given by ____________

A. La/r
B. Lr/a
C. R/la
D. Ra/l

Explanation: Traffic Intensity = (Number of bits in packet * Average Transmission rate)/Current Transmission rate.

In the transfer of file between server and client, if the transmission rates along the path is 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 30Mbps, 40Mbps. The throughput is usually ___________

A. 20mbps
B. 10mbps
C. 40mbps
D. 50mbps

Explanation: The throughput is generally the transmission rate of bottleneck link.

If end to end delay is given by dend-end = N(dproc + dtrans + dprop) is a non congested network. The number of routers between source and destination is?

A. N/2
B. N
C. N-1
D. 2n

Explanation: In the equation N (dproc + dtrans + dprop), N is the number of checkpoints/stops that the packet makes as it reaches the destination. The stops are made at each router and the final destination node. Now, since N = number of routers + final node, then number of routers = N – final node. As we know, there is only 1 final node in a path, thus, number of routers = N – 1. Suppose, There is a path A->R1->R2->B for a packet where A is the source node, B is the final node and R1 and R2 are routers. The total delay would be given by N (dproc + dtrans + dprop) where N = 3, since the packet would stop at R1, R2 and B. The number of routers here are 2, and (N – 1) is also 2.

The total nodal delay is given by ____________

A. Dnodal = dproc €? dqueue + dtrans + dprop
B. Dnodal = dproc + dtrans €? dqueue
C. Dnodal = dproc + dqueue + dtrans + dprop
D. Dnodal = dproc + dqueue €? dtrans €? dprop

Explanation: The total node-to-node delay, that is, nodal delay is the sum of all, the processing delay, queuing delay, transmission delay and propagation delay. Ideally, the nodal delay must be low as possible for a better Quality of Service of the network.

Transmission delay does not depend on _____________

A. Packet length
B. Distance between the routers
C. Transmission rate
D. Bandwidth of medium

Explanation: Transmission delay = packet length / transmission rate. The transmission rate depends upon the bandwidth of the medium.

Propagation delay depends on ___________

A. Packet length
B. Transmission rate
C. Distance between the routers
D. Speed of the cpu

Explanation: Propagation delay is caused when the packet is in its electric signal form and is travelling through a medium (a wire or a electromagnetic wave). Propagation delay is the time it takes a bit to propagate from one router to the next. If the distance between the routers is increased, it will take longer time to propagate, that is, there would be more propagation delay.
