3. Explain with diagrams where necessary.

Q1: Give the answer of the following questions (5*2=10)

1. Suppose that you could make use of only transient asynchronous communication
primitives, including only an asynchronous receive primitive. How would you implement
primitives for transient synchronous communication?
Solution: Block. Constantly poll, waiting for the message
2. Socket were deemed insufficient for two reasons. Mention those reason.
Solution:
First, they were at the wrong level of abstraction by supporting only simple send
and receive primitives. Second, sockets had been designed to communicate across
networks using general-purpose protocol stacks such as TCPIIP.
3. Differentiate between stub and driver.
Solution: when input is present and want to perform function stub will be needed.
When function is active and input is needed.
