中山大学软件学院 20 0 9 级软件工程专业( 2 0 11 学年秋季学期) 《S E - 301 计算机网络》期末试题参考答案(A) 1. (12 points.) In this problem we consider sending real-time voice from Host A to Host B over packet-switched network (VoIP). Host A converts analog voice to a digital 64 kbps bit stream (encode) on the fly. Host A then groups the bits into 56-byte packets. There is one link between Host A and B; its transmission rate is 500 kbps and its propagation delay is 2 msec. As soon as Host A gathers a packet, it sends it to Host B. As soon as Host B receives an entire packet, it converts the packet ’s bits to an analog signal (decode). How much time elapses from the time a bit is created (from the original analog signal at Host A) until the bit is decoded (as part of the analog signal at Host B)? Solution: Consider the first bit in a packet. Before this bit can be transmitted, all of the bits in the packet must be generated. This requires 56 8 3 sec = 7 msec.(3 points) 64 10 The time required to transmit the packet is 56 8 6 sec= 448sec.(3 points) 1 10 Propagation delay = 2 msec. The delay until decoding is 7 msec + 448sec + 2msec = 9.448 msec.(4 points) A similar analysis shows that all bits experience a delay of 9.448 msec. 2. (12 points) Suppose Alice, with a Web-based e-mail account (such as gmail), sends a message to Bob, who accesses his mail from his mail server using POP3. Discuss how the message gets from Alice ’s host to Bob’s host. Be sure to list the series of application-layer protocols that are used to move the message between the two hosts. Solution: Message is sent from Alice’s host to her mail serve
