NOTE: Problems from Walrand or Tanenbaum are on the "Non-textbook problems" handout. (Don't do the problems on this handout that are not listed below.)

Kurose 5th ed. chapter 1 problem P2 / 6th ed. chapter 1 problem P3

Kurose 5th ed. chapter 1 problem P3 (use n=4) / 6th ed. chapter 1 problem P4(a-b)

Walrand 1st ed. #2.1: Justify your answers.

Walrand 1st ed. #2.12: The denominator for B given should read "1 + rho + rho^2 / 2! + ...". The "1" was missing on the scanned copy. You should be able to solve for N=1 and N=2 on paper. You will need to write a spreadsheet, write a program, or use a graphing calculator to solve for N=3 and N=4. Interpret your answer for N=1.

Tanenbaum 3rd ed. #2.14: Assume that "1-MHz full-duplex" means that there is 1MHz capacity in each direction.

Tanenbaum 3rd ed. #2.20
