Assuming that for a given network layer implementation, connection establishment overhead is 100 bytes and disconnection overhead is 28 bytes. What would be the minimum size of a packet in bytes the transport layer needs to keep up, if it wishes to implement a datagram service above the network layer and needs to keep its overhead to a maximum of 12.5% (Ignore transport layer overhead)

A. 512

B. 1024

C 1152

D 768

this question  tests only aptitude

how ??

since tcp is byte oriented protocol...the overheads are==100+28 =128 bytes

now it asks that

what is the total value for which 12.5 percentage =128

so X*12.5/100=128

X=(128*100)/12.5=1024

option B is the ans

Option field when IP packet has minimum size of 20 bytes?
When the IP packet has minimum size (20bytes), what happens to option field. Is it not present or present with all bits set to 0 (all 40bytes of 0's)?

calculate packet transmission time
Sh!va made an experimental network prototype on a 1Kbps link. If the packet size is 1 Kb what should be the most appropriate approach to calculate the transmission time for one packet? a) 1024 bits /(1024 bits per sec) b) 1000 bits/(1024 bits per sec) c) 1024 bits/(1000 bits per sec) d.) 1000 bits/(1000 bits per sec)
