A station running TCP/IP needs to transfer a file to a host. The file contains 2048 bytes. Assume a payload size of 512 bytes would be sent per packet and both systems are running IPv4. Also assume that the three-way handshake and window size negotiation have been completed and that no errors occur during transmission. a. What is the protocol overhead

    The percentage/protocol overheads is about 7.8125 %

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Recall that the TCP header contains a 20 bytes and IP header also contains 20 bytes.

    The total of the overhead now is 40 bytes

    Now,

    let 2048 bytes be divided by 4 segments

    Thus, it becomes (40+512) * 4 = 2208

    Therefore 2208 byes are sent by only 4 segments.

    Now what is the overhead protocol

    (1) Since 2048 = 100%

    let 2208 be = X%

    Then,

    X=2208 * 100/2048 = 107.8125, that is from 100 % increased the 7.8125

    therefore. the percentage overheads is about 7.8125 %
