1. (a) What are the distinct characteristics of local area networks, explain briey? Why is a LAN required and what objectives are achieved by having a LAN (b) A group of 2n 1 routers are interconnected in a centralized binary tree, with a router at each tree node. Router i communicate with router j by sending a message to the root of the tree. The root then sends the message back down to j . Derive an approximate expression for the mean number of hops per message for large n, assuming that all router pairs are equally likely. [8+8] 2. (a) Write a brief notes on: i. Radio transmission ii. Microwave transmission. (b) Discuss about Narrow band ISDN? 3. (a) Explain one -bit sliding window protocol. Give the advantages and disadvantages of one-bit sliding window protocol? (b) Discuss the services provided by the data link layer to the network layer? [8+8] 4. What is a token? Discuss the protocol of token ring LAN in general. Discuss with example how priority is implemented in a token ring LAN? [16] 5. Routing can be classied in to two types Source routing and hop-by-hop routing. In source routing, source determines the complete route, places the route in the packet header and intermediate routers just switch packets from one link to other link. In hop-by-hop routing each router maintains a routing table and when packet arrives on input link it places it on output link based on routing table. Compare the relative advantages & disadvantages of these two routing approaches. [16] 6. (a) What are ATM Service categories? Explain. (b) What is Quality of Service? How ATM supports Quality of Service? [8+8] [8+8]

7. (a) Network layer can provide both connection oriented service and connection less service. Similar is the case with Transport layer, then why two dierent layers are required. (b) What are the Transport layers Quality of Service parameters? [8+8]
