Get started for freeSuppose we were to implement remote file system mounting using an unreliable RPC protocol that offers zero-or-more semantics. If a message reply is received, this improves to at-least-once semantics. We define read() to return the specified Nth block, rather than the next block in sequence; this way reading once is the same as reading twice and at-least-once semantics is thus the same as exactly once. (a) For what other file system operations is there no difference between at- leastonce and exactly once semantics? Consider open, create, write, seek, opendir, readdir, mkdir, delete (aka unlink), and rmdir. (b) For the remaining operations, which can have their semantics altered to achieve equivalence of at-least-once and exactly once? What file system operations are irreconcilable with at-least-once semantics? (c) Suppose the semantics of the rmdir system call are now that the given directory is removed if it exists, and nothing is done otherwise. How could you write a program to delete directories that distinguishes between these two cases?
When TCP sends a
If host
Suppose TCP operates over a 1-Gbps link. (a) Assuming TCP could utilize the full bandwidth continuously, how long would it take the sequence numbers to wrap around completely? (b) Suppose an added 32-bit timestamp field increments 1000 times during the wraparound time you found above. How long would it take for the timestamp to wrap around?
Design a simple UDP-based protocol for retrieving files from a server. No authentication is to be provided. Stop-and-wait transmission of the data may be used. Your protocol should address the following issues: (a) Duplication of the first packet should not duplicate the "connection." (b) Loss of the final ACK should not necessarily leave the server in doubt as to whether the transfer succeeded. (c) A late-arriving packet from a past connection shouldn't be interpretable as part of a current connection.
