Suppose that the clock-driven scheme for generating initial sequence numbers is used
with a 15-bit wide clock counter. The clock ticks once every 100 msec, and the max-
imum packet lifetime is 60 sec. How often need resynchronization take place
(a) in the worst case?
(b) when the data consumes 240 sequence numbers/min?

 

Thank you!

number of bits=15 bits

total number of ticks before the clock cycles =2^15=32768 ticks

clock ticks every 100 msec,so total time elapsed for the clock to cycle around =32768*100*10^-3 =3276.8 seconds

maximum packet lifetime=60 seconds

(a) for the worst case no packet will be generated,in this case sender would enter the forbidden zone at 3276.8-60=3216.8 seconds

(b) at 240 sequence numbers/min ,the actual sequence number is 4t ,where t is the time in seconds

the left edge of the forbidden region =1/.1*(t-3216.8)

so 4t =1/.1*(t-3216.8)  =>t= 5361.3 seconds
