Homework

These exercises are due this Friday. You do not need to make it pretty. Scan (or photograph) your solution's page and email it to me at misan@disca.upv.es


Please include the text [Exercises] on the subject line of your submission.

  2. I have seen at the bibliography and in the net but I didn't found the concept of Bit Length (in computer networks). Any hint to find it?

  4. I don't found anywhere in the book references to the exercises we have to do for tomorrow. Are we supposed to relied on the book to make them?. I just read the 1.3 and 1.5 and it doesn't help me at all,..

    I cant pass through the 1b,.. :S

  5. @joséromero: Bit Length in a general context is the length in bits of a certain field, like a cryptographic key, or the number of bits of an address. In the context of the propagation delay it brings in a new meaning. Maybe the next text can help: http://www.wildpackets.com/resources/compendium/ethernet/propagation_delay

    The idea is that a given bit length in time can be interpreted as a certain length in meters given a certain propagation speed.

  6. @Máximo: I hope I won't get in trouble because of your comment, do not feel offended if I have to remove it.

  7. @Domingo: Section 1.3 may help you a bit to understand transmission delay but propagation delay is explained in Section 1.4 (though it was mentioned in the classroom too). Anyway, do not worry as we will be covering this exercises in detail tomorrow. The important thing it for you to try.
