Communication Networks (2nd Edition) Chapter 2 Solutions Solutions to Chapter 2 (Note: solution to Problem 62 to be added) 1. Explain how the notion of layering and internetworking make the rapid growth of applications such as the World Wide Web possible. Solution: Internetworking allows many component networks each with different underlying technology and operation to work together and form one large network. As new network technologies are introduced they can be readily incorporated into the Internet. This provides the ubiquitous connectivity for applications like WWW. The layering concept hides the specific underlying network technology from the upper layers and provides a common networking platform. Using the communication service provided by the layers below, new applications can be introduced independently and at a rapid rate. 2. (a) What universal set of communication services is provided by TCP/IP? Solution: The TCP/IP protocol stack provides two basic types of communications services through its two transport layer protocols: TCP provides reliable connection-oriented transfer of a byte stream; UDP provides for best-effort connectionless transfer of individual messages. TCP/IP provides with globally unique logical addressing that enables machines connected to the Internet to access these two services. The IP addressing scheme is very scalable because of its hierarchical structure. HTTP SMTP DNS RTP TCP 网 UDP 案 答 IP 后 Network 课 Network Network interface 1
