This elementary problem begins to explore propagation delay and transmission delay, two central concepts in data networking. Consider two hosts, A and B, connected by a single link of rate R bps. Suppose that the two hosts are separated by m meters, and suppose the propagation speed along the link is s meters/sec. Host A is to send a packet of size L bits to Host B.
a.Express the propagation delay, dprop, in terms of m and s.
b. Determine the transmission time of the packet, dtrans, in terms of L and R.
c.Ignoring processing and queuing delays, obtain an expression for the end-to-end delay.
d. Suppose Host a begins to transmit the packet at time t=0. At time t=dtrans where is the last bit of the packet?
e.Suppose dpron is greater than dtrans. At time t=dtrans, where is the first bit of the packet?
f. Suppose dprop is less than dtrans At time t=dtrans, where is the first bit of the packet?
g. Suppose s=2.5.108, L= 100 bits, and R=28 kbps. Find the distance m so that equals dtrans.
e.Suppose dpron is greater than dtrans. At time t=dtrans, where is the first bit of the packet?
f. Suppose dprop is less than dtrans At time t=dtrans, where is the first bit of the packet?
g. Suppose s=2.5.108, L= 100 bits, and R=28 kbps. Find the distance m so that equals dtrans.
