Suppose within your Web browser you click on a link to obtain a Web page. The IP address for the associated URL is not cached in your local host, so a DNS lookup is necessary to obtain the IP address. Suppose that n DNS servers are visited before your host receives the IP address from DNS; the successive visits incur an RTT of RTT1, …, RTTn. Further suppose the HTML file references eight very small objects on the same server. Let RTT0 denote the RTT between the local host and the server containing the object. Neglecting transmission times, how much time elapses from when the client clicks on the link until the client receives all the objects with non-persistent HTTP with no parallel TCP connections?

Host A and B are communicating over a TCP connection, and Host B has already received from A all bytes up through byte 100. Suppose Host A then sends two segments to Host B back-to-back. The first and second segments contain 200 and 300 bytes of data, respectively. In the first segment, the sequence number is 101, the source port number is 201, and the destination port number is 301. Host B sends an acknowledgment whenever it receives a segment from Host A. A.
