ID Allocation Challenges in HTTP Processes with Multiple Sockets

The assignment focuses on key aspects of IT networking designing. Question 1 differentiates between connection-oriented services like video on demand and file transfer, and connection-less services such as electronic fund transfers and credit card verification. Question 2 addresses the use of dynamic process IDs over static ones for HTTP processes that may handle multiple sockets across various TSAPs, highlighting efficiency concerns with single-process ID assignment. In Question 3.A and 3.B, subnet design is explored by allocating sizes, masks, ranges, and broadcast addresses to Networks A through D, ensuring effective IP address management. Finally, Question 4 delves into TCP protocol retransmission issues caused by long retransmission timeouts (RTO) and acknowledgment delays leading to the retransmission ambiguity problem. The assignment concludes with bibliographic references providing further reading on network design topics.

Question 1
 The connection oriented service is defining as a transmission control protocol for
communicate end to end device data transfer. Therefore, the example of connection
oriented services is video on demand and file transfer.
 The connection less services are electronic fund transfer and credit card verification.
Question 2
1. The reason behind generating new abstract ID instead of process ID is not static.
However, process ID is assigned dynamically whenever a new process is
generated. Therefore, it is never used for ant HTTP process.
2. If any certain scenario, one process may manage multiple sockets on various
TSAPs, if process ID is being used for this situation, then it cannot be initiated
since one process is assign with one process ID.

Question 4
TCP protocol re-transmitted to significant volumes of data unnecessarily due to longer
retransmission timeout (RTO) and acknowledgment of transmitted message is received.
However, a retransmission is occurring at the moment when RTT estimators cannot be updated
till the acknowledgement for retransmitted data is arrived. This problem is known as
retransmission ambiguity problem, which causes TCP re-transmission of significant data.
Another cause of re-transmission is occurring when a TCP sender observe that fast retransmit
threshold is too low as well as reordering in the network.
