Question

6. The following is a dump of a DATA chunk in hexadecimal format. 00000015 00000005 0003000A 00000000 48656C6C 6F000000 a. Is this an ordered or unordered chunk? b. Is this the first, the last, the middle, or the only fragment? c. How many bytes of padding are carried by the chunk? d. What is the TSN? e. What is the SI? f. What is the SSN? g. What is the message?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a) taking 00000005, it is a 13th bit which is 0, and therefore, we'd call it an ordered chunk

b) taking 00000005 again, it is 14th (B) and 15th (E) bits are 0 and so we'd call it a middle fragment

c) 00000015 is equal to 21, it is not a multiple of 4, and as such, it needs 3 padding bytes

d) 00000005 is equal to 5 making it a TSN. So the TSN is 5

e) taking 0003, we can then say the SI is 3

f) taking 000A, the SSN is then 10

g) the message is 48656C6C
