a ) The simulation result ,using droptail queuing :

b) The simulation result ,using SF queuing (SFQ):

2 )for the droptail queue . a- when did the path from n0 to n3 start ? at .5 sec b- when did the path from n1 to n3 start ? at 1 sec c-on which link did dropping occur? n2 n3 link d-which traffic is being dropped? blue

3) a- notice what changes occurred when SFQ was used instead of DropTail? SFQ dropped red and blue , droptail gave priority to the late comer "dropped blue" b- for both Droptail and sfq dropping occurred , explain mathematically? the capacity for n1 n3 link is 1Mbps . same as n2 n3 link . when you add them together they will be 2Mbps and the capacity for so drop will be occurred . link n3 n4 is 1Mbps .

4)Based on the results from the trace file where SfQ is used : a- when did n3 receive the first packet? @ .528 sec

b- which node transmitted this packet? node 0 c- how long does it take to travel the whole distance from the source to destination ? .028 sec d- find Tdrop? 1.144 sec e- what was the duration of dropping ? 1.114 to 4.089 4.089-1.114 = 2.975 sec f- how long did the network work without dropping ? (5-4.089)+(1.114-.5)=1.525 sec g- trace the packer which has the ID number 219 , when was it recived by n3? By whom it was transmitted? n0 to n3 and it received at 1.4 sec .
