48. Consider
a disk queue with requests for I/O to blocks on cylinders 47, 38, 121, 191, 87,
11, 92, 10. The C-LOOK scheduling algorithm is used. The head is initially at

Consider the following two phase locking
protocol. Suppose a transaction T accesses (for read or write operations), a
certain set of objects {O1,...,Ok}. This is done in the
following manner:
Step 1. T
acquires exclusive locks to O1, ... , Ok in increasing
order of their addresses. Step 2. The required operations are performed.
Step 3. All
locks are released.
This
protocol will
(A) guarantee serializability and
deadlock-freedom
(B) guarantee neither serializability nor
deadlock-freedom
(C) guarantee serializability but not
deadlock-freedom
(D) guarantee deadlock-freedom but not
serializability
Answer: A
52.
Consider that B wants to send a message m
that is digitally signed to A. Let the pair of private and public keys for A
and B be denoted by Kx- and Kx+ for
x=A,B, respectively. Let Kx(m) represent the operation of encrypting
m with a key Kx and H(m) represent the message digest. Which one of
the following indicates the CORRECT way of sending the message m along with the
digital signature to A?
Answer: B
53. An
IP datagram of size 1000 bytes arrives at a router. The router has to forward
this packet on a link whose MTU (maximum transmission unit) is 100 bytes.
Assume that the size of the IP header is 20 bytes.
The number
of fragments that the IP datagram will be divided into for transmission is
.....................
Answer: 13
54. For
a host machine that uses the token bucket algorithm for congestion control, the
token bucket has a capacity of 1 megabyte and the maximum output rate is 20
megabytes per second. Tokens arrive at a rate to sustain output at a rate of 10
megabytes per second. The token bucket is currently full and the machine needs
to send 12 megabytes of data. The minimum time required to transmit the data is
................. seconds.
Answer: 1.1
55. A
sender uses the Stop-and-Wait ARQ protocol for reliable transmission of frames.
Frames are of size 1000 bytes and the transmission rate at the sender is 80
Kbps (1Kbps = 1000 bits/second). Size of an acknowledgement is 100 bytes and
the transmission rate at the receiver is 8 Kbps. The one-way propagation delay
is 100 milliseconds.
Assuming no
frame is lost, the sender throughput is ................ bytes/second.
