Time: 3 Hours Maximum Marks: 100
1. a. Write a daytime client program that connects to read a string from the server and
displays the string to the user. (50)

b. Develop a String reverse chat application using TCP socket programming. Server
acceptsstringsfromclients(evenmultiplestringsfromeachclient)andreplies
withreversestrings.Forexample,whenclientsendsVandeMataram,Server
replies with marataMedanV. Both server and client(s) have to output both
sending&receivingstringsontheterminal. (50)

2. a. Using TCP/IP sockets, write a client-server program to make client request for a file.
If the file is present it verifies the name of the file. If correct the server to sends the
contents of the requested file. If the file not present sends the message File not
present. (50)

b. Write a program to implement DNS server and client using UDP sockets. (50)

2. a. Develop a String reverse chat application using UDP socket programming. Server
acceptsstringsfromclients(evenmultiplestringsfromeachclient)andreplies
withreversestrings.Forexample,whenclientsendsVandeMataram,Server
replies with marataM ednaV. Both server and client(s) have to output both
sending&receivingstringsontheterminal. (50)
b.Develop a program to display the date and time of the server using TCP. (50)

sockets. (50)


4 .a. Write a program to implement factorial of a given number on a remote host and obtain
its value from a client. (50)

b. Write a program to implement RPC to perform String Lower case to Upper Case and vice
versa. (50)

server sends the username and password to a client. If the client echoes the message correctly,
the server send a WELCOME response back to the client. (100)


17. a. Write a program to simulate a link failure and to observe distance vector routing protocol
in action. (50)

b. Examine the performance of OPEN SHORTEST PATH FIRST (OSPF) routing protocol
using a simulator based on cost. (50)
