Programming Assignment Two

In this assignment, you will study the performance of Stop$-$and$-$Wait protocol.

Problem

Given that the approximate capacity utilization of stop$-$and$-$wait protocol is given by the following simple expression:

$()=(2)---------($eq$.1)$

TF $=$ frame transmission time

TP $=$ Propagation time from source to destination

TR $=$ Data transmission rate in Mbps

F $=$ Frame size in bits

D $=$ Distance in meters between sender and receiver

C $=$ Speed of the signal in meters per second $==$

Study $1$: Impact of distance between sender and receiver $($D$)$ on Utilization $($U$)$ Plot a graph between distance $($D$)$ and utilization$($U$)$ On X$-$axis, plot various distances $($D$)$ in meters as $1500,2000,2500,3000,3500,4000,4500,5000.$ On Y$-$axis corresponding utilization $($U$)$ values from equation $1$ For study $1,$ use the following values of F$=5,000$ bits, TR$=1$ Mbps$,$ C $=3$ x $108$ meter$/$second

Question $1$

How is utilization impacted by the increase in the distance?

Study $2$: Impact of frame size $($F$)$ on Utilization $($U$)$ Plot a graph between frame size $($F$)$ and utilization$($U$)$ On X$-$axis, plot various frame sizes$($F$)$ in bits as $5000,6000,7000,8000,9000,10000.$ On Y$-$axis corresponding utilization$($U$)$ values from equation $1$

$$ For study $2,$ use the following values of D$=3,000$ meters, TR$=1$ Mbps$,$ C $=3$ x $108$ meter$/$second

Question $2$

How is utilization impacted by the increase in frame size?

Study $3$: Impact of data transmission rate $($TR$)$ on Utilization $($U$)$ Plot a graph between data transmission rate $($TR$)$and utilization$($U$)$: $$ On X$-$axis, plot various data transmission rate $($TR$)$in millions of bits per second as $1$ Mbps$,4$Mbps$,8$Mbps$,16$Mbps$,32$Mbps$,64$Mbps $$ On Y$-$axis corresponding utilization $($U$)$ values from equation $1$ For study $3,$ use the following values of F$=10,000$ bits, D$=3,000$ meters, C $=3$ x $108$ meter$/$second

Question $3$

How is utilization impacted by the increase in data transmission rate?
