The probability of exactly one station transmitting in a given time slot in a slotted LAN with n stations, each transmitting with probability p, is n × p × (1 - p)n-1.
There are n stations in a slotted LAN. Each station attempts to transmit with a probability p in each time slot. What is the probability that only one station transmits in a given time slot?

- An organization has a Class B network and wishes to form subnets for 64 departments. The subnet mask would be - Ans: B Understanding IP addressing, network classes, subnetting, and how to calculate subnet masks based on the number of required subnets is crucial. - Class B departments require 64 unique subnet IDs. - Bits required for subnets $2^n \ge \text{number of subnets}$. $2^6 = 64$. So, 6 bits are needed for subnetting. - Borrowing bits These 6 bits are borrowed from the host portion of the default Class B address. In a Class B address, the first 16 bits are network, and the last 16 bits are host. The host portion is `00000000.00000000`. - Subnetting the third octet The 6 bits are taken from the first available bits of the host portion, which are in the third octet. - New subnet mask The first 8 bits of the third octet are now part of the network/subnet ID. The first 6 bits of the third octet become '1's, and the remaining 2 bits are for the host. - Calculation `11111111` (first octet) `11111111` (second octet) `11111100` (third octet) `00000000` (fourth octet). - Decimal conversion `11111100` binary = 252 decimal. 103.
