Suppose two hosts, A and B, are separated by 10,000 kilometers and are connected by a direct link of R = 2 Mbps. Suppose the propagation speedover the link is 2.5*10^8 meters/sec.
A. The value of the bandwidth-delay product is ( ) bit. (Notice: the bandwidth-delay product = R*d(prop), and d(prop) is the propagation rate.)
B. Consider sending a file of 800,000 bits from Host A to Host Suppose the file is sent continuously as one large message. What is the maximumnumber of bits that will be in the link at any given time? ( )
Consider sending a file of 8000 bits from Host A to Host Suppose the file is sent continuously as one large message. What is the maximumnumber of bits that will be in the link at any given time? ( )
D. What is the width (in meters) of a bit in the link? ( )
E. Derive a general expression for the width of a bit in terms of the propagation speed s, the transmission rate R, and the length of the link m.
