Homework Assignment 3
H1: What design feature of Bluetooth makes it possible to survive in
an environment with 802.11b (i.e., Bluetooth will still work, even though
with degraded performance)? Further, does this problem still exist if 802.11a
is used instead of 802.11b (why or why not)?
H2: Could Mobile IP be replaced by DHCP?
H3: Why may I-TCP violate application correctness? Does Snooping TCP
incur the same problem? Explain.
H4: List an advantage and a disadvantage of table-driven routing
protocols (such as DSDV) and on-demand protocols (such as DSR and AODV).
H5: Propose an on-demand routing protocol that considers both
minimum route lengths and power consumption as routing metrics. Be
specific about your protocol (i.e., describe the communication phases,
what is inside of a packet, any algorithms any of the nodes must execute).
Show the operation of your protocol using a concrete example.
