Q1. Suppose that the packet length is L = 8000 bits, and that the link transmission rate along the link to router on the right is R = 1 Mbps.. What is the transmission delay? What is the maximum number of packets per second that can be transmitted by this link? HThe transmission delay = L/R = 8000 bits / 1000000 bps = 0.008 seconds The number of packets that can be transmitted in a second into the link = R / L = 1000000 bps / 8000 bits = 125 packets
Q6.A network with bandwidth of 10 Mbps can pass only an average of 12,000 frames per minute with each frame carrying an average of 10,000 bits. What is the throughput of this network?
Q8. What are the propagation time and the transmission time for a 5- Mbyte message (an image) if the bandwidth of the network is 1 Mbps? Assume that the distance between the sender and the receiver is 12,000 km and that light travels at 2.4 × 10^8 m/s. Solution
Q9. Consider the two scenarios below: A circuit-switching scenario in which Ncs users, each requiring a bandwidth of 20 Mbps, must share a link of capacity 200 Mbps. A packet-switching scenario with Nps users(19) sharing a 200 Mbps link, where each user again requires 20 Mbps when transmitting, but only needs to transmit 20 percent of the time.
The probability that a given user is transmitting is p=0. Probability that other user is not transmitting= (1-p)=0. Probability that all of the other Nps-1 users are not transmitting = (1-p)Nps-1. Thus the probability that one specific user is transmitting and the remaining users are not transmitting = p*(1-p)Nps- =.
