Compare and contrast questions require you to explain the similarities and differences to get credit for your answer): 1.What is the definition of a linear block code? 2. (2 parts )In a codeword, we add two redundant bits to each 8-bit word. Find the number of a. valid codewords & b. invalid codewords 3. If we want to be able to detect 2-bit errors, what should be the minimum Hamming distance? 4. In CRC, if the dataword is 5 bits and the codeword is 8 bits, how many 0s need to be added to the dataword to make the dividend? What is the size of the remainder? What is the size of the divisor? 5. In CRC, which of the following generators (divisors) guarantees the detection of an odd number of errors? a. 10111 b. 101101 c. 111 6. Assume we are sending data items of 16-bit length. If two data items are swapped during transmission, can the traditional checksum detect this error? Explain your answer. Chapter 11 7. Explain why flags are needed when we use variable-size frames. 8. Compare and contrast byte-oriented and bit-oriented protocols. 9. In a byte-oriented protocol, should we first unstuff the extra bytes and then remove the flags or reverse the process? 10. Compare and contrast flow control and error control. 11. Compare and contrast HDLC with PPP.
