| Question 2 |
In a data link protocol, the frame delimiter flag is given by 0111. Assuming that bit stuffing is employed, the transmitter sends the data sequence 01110110 as
| 01101011 | |
| 011010110 | |
| 011101100 | |
| 0110101100 |
Question 2 Explanation:
In the data link layer, bits stuffing is employed then bit stuffing is done using the flag delimiter. If there is a flag of n bits then we will compare the data sequence with the flag and for every n-1 bits matched found, a bit 0 is stuffed in the data sequence.
Thus using the above logic,
Delimiter flag: 0111
Data sequence: 01110110
So, for a flag of 4 bits we will compare data sequence with a pattern of 3 bits, i.e., 011.
0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0
In the above pattern the underlined bits are found matched. Hence, 0 in italics is stuffed. Thus resulting in the data sequence as 0110101100 which is option (D).
Thus using the above logic,
Delimiter flag: 0111
Data sequence: 01110110
So, for a flag of 4 bits we will compare data sequence with a pattern of 3 bits, i.e., 011.
0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0
In the above pattern the underlined bits are found matched. Hence, 0 in italics is stuffed. Thus resulting in the data sequence as 0110101100 which is option (D).
