Task

Answer the following questions:

1. A station running TCP/IP needs to transfer a file to a host. The file contains 1024 bytes. How many bytes, including all of the TCP/IP overhead, would be sent, assuming a payload size of 128 bytes and both systems are running IPv4? (Also assume that the three-way handshake and window size negotiation have been completed and that no errors occur during transmission.)

i) what is the protocol overhead (stated as a percentage)?

ii) perform the same calculation, this time assuming that both clients are using IPv6.

2. IP is a connection-less protocol, whereas TCP is connection-oriented. How can these two protocols coexist in the same protocol stack?

3. Mention one advantage and one disadvantage of Agile method.

4. Compare and contrast the Agile method and Evolutionary software development process. Explain with an example.

5. Analyse the uniqueness of Apple design process.

6. Describe three reasons for a project failure.

7. Your company owns several software and asked you to manage them within company budget constraints. What will be your goals?
