Hyper Text Transmission Protocol (HTTP) is a simple protocol that can be implemented with small footprint which can be used in different types of content transfer and other types of services. Given an example of an HTTP Uniform Resource Locator (URL). List the THREE (3) main components of an HTTP URL, stating how their boundaries are denoted and illustrating each one from your example. To what extent is a URL location transparent?

Suppose we have a web page which contains 10 objects including: a html main file, 8 jpg image, and a .mp3 background music. For simplicity, assume each of the 10 objects has a size of 4 Kbits and that each object can be completely transferred in one TCP packet. Furthermore, assume the round-trip time between the server and client is RTT= 250 ms, and the download rate is 1 Mbps. What will be the time it takes to complete transferring the web page running in the non-persistent mode? Total delay = ms

The HTTP/1.1 protocol is commonly used on modern TCP/IP networks. a) Identify the communication paradigm used by HTTP/1.1 and briefly describe that paradigm. b) Explain how the protocol uses this communication paradigm for a typical scenario of downloading a HTML file from a remote server, e.g., downloading Google’s home page to your local computer. c) Discuss the content and purpose of any headers in the application layer messages used by HTTP/1.1.
Consider the advantages and disadvantages of connectionless protocols in comparison to connection-based protocols.
In class you have been introduced to how network designers organize protocols through layers. Subsequently, you were also introduced to the Internet protocol stack, which consists of five layers: the physical, link, network, transport, and application layers, as a typical example of this layered design. Additionally, it was also brought to your attention that the Internet protocol is not the only protocol stack available. A seven layered protocol stack called the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is also available. In this assignment, you're required to identify the missing and/or merged layers between the two models and discuss their functionalities.
Task NW29. UDP is the simplest transport layer communication protocol. It contains a minimum amount of communication mechanisms. It is considered an unreliable protocol, and it is based on best-effort delivery services. UDP provides no acknowledgment mechanism, which means that the receiver does not send the acknowledgment for the received packet, and the sender also does not wait for the acknowledgment for the packet that it has sent. An end system sends 50 packets per second using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over a full duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN connection. Each packet consists 1500B of Ethernet frame payload data. What is the throughput, when measured at the UDP layer? Task DS30
