Q1. From what you learned in the lectures, do you expect a relationship between the ping loss and the traffic intensity for a given buffer capacity (for example, decrease or increase with traffic intensity)? Answer yes or no, and justify your answer. Now analyze the reported data for the various configurations. Does the data match the relationship you expected? Same question for the relationship between the ping avg RTT and the traffic intensity.

Q2. From what you learned in the lectures, do you expect a relationship between the ping loss and the buffer capacity (for example, decrease or increase with buffer capacity)? Answer yes or no, and justify your answer. Now analyze the reported data for the various configurations. Does the data match the relationship you expected? Same question for the relationship between the ping avg RTT and the buffer capacity.

Q3. Is the observed throughput at the server h2 the same as the F1 traffic intensity? If the answer is no, explain why.

Q4. Is the observed throughput at the server h4 the same as the F3 traffic intensity? If the answer is no, explain why.

Q5. Is there a relationship between the RTT/loss % and the throughputs observed at the servers? If so, what is that relationship? Can you explain?

Q6. Regarding the individual ping RTT values, do you see any significant differences between the first pings and the last pings within the same ping session? If your answer is yes, can you explain why?
