Complete Question:

Recall that with the CSMA/CD protocol, the adapter waits K. 512 bit times after a collision, where K is drawn randomly. a. For first collision, if K=100, how long does the adapter wait until sensing the channel again for a 1 Mbps broadcast channel? For a 10 Mbps broadcast channel?

Answer:

a) 51.2 msec.  b) 5.12 msec

Explanation:

If K=100, the time that the adapter must wait until sensing a channel after detecting a first collision, is given by the following expression:

  • Tw = K*512* bit time

The bit time, is just the inverse of the channel bandwidh, expressed in bits per second, so for the two instances posed by the question, we have:

a) BW  = 1 Mbps = 10⁶ bps

⇒ Tw = 100*512*(1/10⁶) bps = 51.2*10⁻³ sec. = 51.2 msec

b) BW = 10 Mbps = 10⁷ bps

⇒ Tw = 100*512*(1/10⁷) bps = 5.12*10⁻³ sec. = 5.12 msec

Write a client program that writes a struct with a privateFIFO name (call it FIFO_XXXX, where XXXX is the pid that you got from
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

client code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <sys/stat.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <string.h>

int main (void)

{

 struct values

 {

   char privateFIFO[14];

   int intbuff;

 }input;

 int fda;  // common FIFO to read to write to server

 int fdb;      // Private FIFO to read from server

 int clientID;

 int retbuff;

 char temp[14];

 clientID = getpid();

 strcpy(input.privateFIFO, "FIFO_");

 sprintf(temp, "%d", clientID);

 strcat(input.privateFIFO, temp);

 printf("\nFIFO name is %s", input.privateFIFO);

 // Open common FIFO to write to server

 if((fda=open("FIFO_to_server", O_WRONLY))<0)

    printf("cant open fifo to write");

 write(fda, &input, sizeof(input));    // write the struct to the server

 close(fda);

 // Open private FIFO to read

 if((fdb=open(input.privateFIFO, O_RDONLY))<0)

    read(fdb, &retbuff, sizeof(retbuff));

 printf("\nAll done\n");

 close(fdb);

}

server code:

 }input;

int main (void)

{

 int fda;  //common FIFO to read from client

 int fdb;  //private FIFO to write to client

 int retbuff;

 int output;

// create the common FIFO  

 if ((mkfifo("FIFO_to_server",0666)<0 && errno != EEXIST))

       {

       perror("cant create FIFO_to_server");

       exit(-1);

}

// open the common FIFO

 if((fda=open("FIFO_to_server", O_RDONLY))<0)

    printf("cant open fifo to write");

output = read(fda, &input, sizeof(input));

// create the private FIFO

 if ((mkfifo(input.privateFIFO, 0666)<0 && errno != EEXIST))

 {

   perror("cant create privateFIFO_to_server");

   exit(-1);

 }

 printf("Private FIFO received from the client and sent back from server is: %d", output);

 //open private FIFO to write to client

if((fdb=open(input.privateFIFO, O_WRONLY))<0)

   printf("cant open fifo to read");

 write(fdb, &retbuff, sizeof(retbuff));

 close(fda);

 unlink("FIFO_to_server");

 close(fdb);

 unlink(input.privateFIFO);

}

Write a shell (text-based) program, called first_word.py, that opens the file stuff.txt and prints out the first word of every l
postnew [5]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Please check below for the code for first_word.py file which will print first word of an input file stuff.txt. So the open function will open file in read mode. We had maintained a count variable so that we can skip printing first word of first line. Also the command line.strip() checks whether string is empty or not so that we will not get index error while calling split function over line to get first word.

#!/usr/local/bin/python

stuff = open("stuff.txt", "r");

count = 0;

for line in stuff:

count+=1;

if (count>1 and line.strip()):

print(line.split(maxsplit=1)[0])
