Assuming UB has a campus-wide network, as illustrated in the figure. All hosts within the
network are connected to a UB Router. The UB router, in turn, links to the public Internet
router via a UB Access Link. Considering that hosts inside the UB network generate 50 web
requests per second, with each web request having a total size of 10 Mbit. The lengths and
capacities of the links between the Internet Server, Internet Router, and UB router are
depicted in the figure. It's important to note that the distance between hosts inside the UB
network and the UB router is negligible, assumed to be zero. All devices transmit based on
the store-and-forward strategy. The packet flows at the speed of light.
1. Is there a queueing delay at the UB access link? Why? (5 points)
2. Discuss the case if the capacity of the UB access link increases to 750 Mbps.(5 points)
3. If instead of increasing the access link capacity, we introduce a UB cache inside the
UB network, is there a queueing delay (or potential congestion) at the UB access link
given a caching hit rate of 60%(the capacity of UB access link is 200Mbps.) Why? (5
points)
4. Discuss if there are any changes if the hit rate rises to 70%.(The capacity of UB access
link is 200Mbps.)(5 points)
