Instructions : This assignment is in continuation to Assignment 1. But you have to submit the solutions in a di erent tgz le with name assign2.tgz. .
Problem 1. Consider the problem 2 of the previous assignment (i.e. multiple sources). In this assignment rather than using a constant packet generation rate, we will now use a Poisson distribution and observe its e ects. We now assume that the packet generation at each source i follows a Poisson distribution with a given rate, ai which is equivalent to the fact that the generation time between two consecutive packets at each source follows an exponential distribution.
Assuming ai to be same for all sources, plot the average delay for each packet with respect to ai.
Assuming ai to be di erent for each source, plot the average delay for each packet with respect to ai.
Assume that the size of the queue of the switch is xed, and the packet is dropped if the queue is full. Plot the packet loss rate at the switch with respect to di erent packet sending rates ai for each of the sources.
