Consider transferring an enormous file of l bytes


Q4. Consider transferring an enormous file of L bytes from host A to host B. Assume an MSS (Maximum Segment Size) of 1460 bytes.

a) What is the maximum value of L such that TCP sequence numbers are not exhausted? Recall that the TCP sequence number filed has four bytes.

b) For the L you obtain in (a), find how long it takes to transmit the file. Assume that a total of 66 bytes of transport, network and data-link header are added to each segment before the resulting packet is sent out over a 10 Mbps link. Ignore flow control and congestion control so A can pump out the segments back to back and continuously
