Question 26 NAT · 3.0 marks
A TCP receiver has a buffer size of 30 KB. The sender transmits data at 10 KB/s, while the receiver’s
application reads data from the buffer at 6 KB/s. Assuming the buffer is initially empty, after how
many seconds will the receiver buffer become full ?
Note: Give your answer to two decimal places.

Question 27 NAT · 3.0 marks
A TCP connection has an advertised window size of 32 KB and a Round Trip Time (RTT) of 80 ms.
Ignoring congestion effects, compute the maximum achievable through-put based solely on flow
control.
Note: Write the answer in KB/s.

Question 28 NAT · 3.0 marks
An organization has been assigned an address block of 10.25.4.0/26. How many usable host
addresses can be assigned to devices in this network?

Question 29 NAT · 3.0 marks
An organization has 1,800 devices connected in a private network. Each NAT router can handle up
to 80,000 simultaneous connections and can serve 300 devices comfortably. If the organization
uses NAT (one public IP address per NAT router), how many public IP addresses are required?

Question 30 NAT · 3.0 marks
An administrator is given the private IP block 192.168.0.0/16. They need to create subnets that can
each support at least 500 hosts. What is the smallest subnet mask prefix they can use, in CIDR
notation?

Question 31 NAT · 4.0 marks
At the start of an RTT, the congestion window (CWND) is 15 MSS where the Maximum Segment
Size (MSS) is 1200 bytes. TCP is operating in the congestion avoidance phase, and there is one ACK
per segment. What will be the new value of CWND (in bytes) after receiving 15 ACKs (i.e., one RTT
worth of ACKs)?

Question 32 NAT · 4.0 marks
A TCP connection has a round-trip time (RTT) of 80 ms and a maximum segment size (MSS) of 1200
bytes. If the steady-state congestion window is 50 MSS, what is the maximum achievable
throughput (in Mbps)? Note: Give your answer to two decimal places.
