Suppose there are $n$ stations in a slotted $LAN$. Each station attempts to transmit with a probability $P$ in each time slot. The probability that only one station transmits in a given slot is $nP(1-P)^{n-1}$ $nP$ $P(1-P)^{n-1}$ $n^{P}(1-P)^{n-1}$

Ethernet frames must be at least 64 bytes long to ensure that the transmitter is still going in the event of a collision at the far end of the cable. Fast Ethernet has the same 64-byte minimum frame size but can get the bits out ten times faster. How is it possible to maintain the same minimum frame size?

A group of N stations share a 56-kbps pure ALOHA channel. Each station outputs a 1000-bit frame on average once every 100 sec, even if the previous one has not yet been sent (e.g., the stations can buffer outgoing frames). What is the maximum value of N?

Consider a scnario of CSMA/CD network. Suppose A & B attempt to transmit a frame simultaneously and collide. Using exponential backoff algorithm A chooses K=0 and B chooses K=1. Again they collide and after the 2nd collision both A & B will choose K with equal probability from set: For A {0,1} and for B {0,1} For ... for B {0,1} For A {0,1} and for B {0,1,2,3} For A {0,1,2,3} and for B {0,1,2,3}

Consider a 10 Mbps token ring LAN with a ring latency of 400 µs. A host that needs to transmit seizes the token. Then it sends a frame of 1000 bytes, removes the frame after it has circulated all around the ring, and finally releases the token. This process is repeated for every frame. Assuming that only a single host wishes to transmit, the effective data rate is 1 Mbps 2 Mbps 5 Mbps 6 Mbps
