2. An alternative to a LAN is simply a big timesharing system with terminals for
all users. Give two advantages of a client-server system using a LAN.(M)
使用局域网模型可以容易地增加节点?/p>
如果局域网只是一条长的电缆,且不会因个别的失效而崩?/p>

的情况下,使用局域网模型会更便宜?/p>
使用局域网可提供更多的计算能力和更好交互式接口?/p>
3. The performance of a client-server system is influenced by two network factors:
the bandwidth of the network (how many bits/sec it can transport) and the latency
(how many seconds it takes for the first bit to get from the client to the server). Give
an example of a network that exhibits high bandwidth and high latency. Then give
an example of one with low bandwidth and low latency.(E)

4. Besides bandwidth and latency, what other parameter is needed to give a good
characterization of the quality of service offered by a network used for digitized
voice traffic?(M)

6. A client-server system uses a satellite network, with the satellite at a height of
40,000 km. What is the best-case delay in response to a request?(E)
