Consider the attached image, in which a single router is transmitting packets, each of length L bits, over a single link with transmission rate R Mbps to another router at the other end of the link.

Suppose that the packet length is L= 12000 bits, and that the link transmission rate along the link to router on the right is R = 10 Mbps.

(a) What is the transmission delay (the time needed to transmit all of a packet's bits into the link)?

(b) what is the maximum number of packets per second that can be transmitted by the link?

  • Hops

    (a) In each transmission, a packet emitted by the source host makes 1, 2, or 3 hops. The probability that it makes one hop is p. The probability that it makes two hops is p x (1-p). The probability that it makes three hops is (1-p)^2.

  • Round Trip Delay

    The one-way delay of a network operating over 5000 km (regardless of the bandwidth) is 5000 km / (2 x 10^5 km/s) = 0.025 s = 25 ms, whereas the one-way delay of a network operating over 20 km (the MAN here, regardless of the bandwidth) is 20 km / (2 x

  • Propagation delays at the physical layer

    Transmission delay between stations = (35,786 km + 35,786 km) * (1 sec / 300,000 km) = 0.239 s 2) Propagation speed in the cable is 2/3 * 300,000 km / s = 200,000 km / s.
