1) DNS – Basics
Imagine that you are trying to visit www.enterprise.com, but you don’t remember the IP address the web-server is running on.
Assume the following records are on the TLD DNS server:
· (www.enterprise.com, dns.enterprise.com, NS)
· (dns.enterprise.com, 146.54.33.180, A)
Assume the following records are on the entreprise.com DNS Server:
· (www.enterprise.com, west3.enterprise.com, CNAME)
· (west3.enterprise.com, 142.81.17.206, A)
· (www.enterprise.com, mail.enterprise.com, MX)
· (mail.enterprise.com, 247.29.126.93, A)
Q1: What transport protocol(s) does DNS use: TCP, UDP, or Both?
Q2: What well-known port does DNS use?
Q3: How many types of Resource Records (RR) are there?
Q4: Can you send multiple DNS questions and get multiple RR answers in one message? Answer with Yes or No
Q5: To which DNS server does a host send their requests to? Answer with the full name
Q6: Which type of DNS server holds a company’s DNS records? Answer with the full name
Q7: In the example given in the problem, what is the address of the DNS server for enterprise.com?
Q8: When you make the request for www.enterprise.com, your local DNS requests the IP on your behalf. When it contacts the TLD server, how many answers (RR) are returned?
Q9: In the previous question, there were two responses, one was a NS record and the other an A record. What was the content of the A record? Answer with the format: “name, value”
Q10: Assume that the enterprise.com website is actually hosted on west3.enterprise.com, what type of record is needed for this?
Q11: Now imagine we are trying to send an email to admin@enterprise.com, and their mail server has the address mail.enterprise.com. What type of record will we receive?
Q12: In that MX record, what are the contents? Answer with the format: “name, value”
Q13: Does your local DNS server take advantage of caching similar to web requests? Answer with Yes or No

2) Comparison of client-server and peer to peer file distribution delays
In this problem, you’ll compare the time needed to distribute a file that is initially located at a server to clients via either client-server download or peer-to-peer download.
The problem is to distribute a file of size F = 5 Gbits to each of these 8 peers. Suppose the server has an upload rate of u = 85 Mbps. The 8 peers have upload rates of: u1 = 11 Mbps, u2 = 20 Mbps, u3 = 17 Mbps, u4 = 20 Mbps, u5 = 20 Mbps, u6 = 24 Mbps, u7 = 17 Mbps, and u8 = 26 Mbps The 8 peers have download rates of: d1 = 15 Mbps, d2 = 34 Mbps, d3 = 38 Mbps, d4 = 18 Mbps, d5 = 13 Mbps, d6 = 38 Mbps, d7 = 23 Mbps, and d8 = 40 Mbps
Q1: What is the minimum time needed to distribute this file from the central server to the 8 peers using the client-server model?
Q2: What is the minimum time needed to distribute the file using peer-to-peer download?
