Sheet 6: Network Switching Techniques


1. A path in a digital circuit-switched network has a data rate of I Mbps. The exchange of 1000 bits
is required for the setup and teardown phases. The distance between two parties is 5000 km.
Answer the following questions if the propagataion speed is 2x108 m/sec: [CH_8, pb-11]
a. What is the total delay if 1000 bits of data are exchanged during the data transfer phase?
b. What is the total delay if 100,000 bits of data are exchanged during the data transfer phase?
c. What is the total delay if 1,000,000 bits of data are exchanged during the data transfer phase?
d. Find the delay per 1000 bits of data for each of the above cases and compare them. What can
you infer?

2. Five equal-size datagrams belonging to the same message leave for the destination one after
another. However, they travel through different paths as shown in the table below: [CH_8, pb-12]

We assume that the delay for each switch (including waiting and processing) is 3, 10, 20, 7, and
20 msec respectively. Assuming that the propagation speed is 2x108m, find the order the
datagrams arrive at the destination and the delay for each. Ignore any other delays in
transmission.

3. Transmission of information in any network involves end-to-end addressing and sometimes


local addressing. The following table shows the types of networks and the addressing
mechanism used in each of them. Answer the following questions: [CH_8, pb-13]

Page 1 of 2
a. Why does a circuit-switched network need end-to-end addressing during the setup and
teardown phases? Why are no addresses needed during the data transfer phase for this type
of network?
b. Why does a datagram network need only end-to-end addressing during the data transfer
phase, but no addressing during the setup and teardown phases?
c. Why does a virtual-circuit network need addresses during all three phases?

4. The figure below shows a switch (router) in a datagram network. Find the output port for
packets with the following destination addresses: [CH_8, pb-17]
a. Packet 1: 7176,
b. Packet 2: 1233,
c. Packet 3: 8766,
d. Packet 4: 9144.

5. The figure below shows a switch in a virtual circuit network. Find the output port and the output
VCI for packets with the following input port and input VCI addresses: [CH_8, pb-18]
a. Packet 1: 3, 78.
b. Packet 2: 2, 92.
c. Packet 3: 4, 56.
d. Packet 4: 2, 71.

6. Answer the following questions: [CH_8, pb-19]


a. Can a routing table in a datagram network have two entries with the same destination
address?
b. Can a switching table in a virtual-circuit network have two entries with the same input port
number? With the same output port number? With the same incoming VCls? With the same
outgoing VCls? With the same incoming values (port, VCI)? With the same outgoing values
(port, VCI)?
