Suppose a router has three input flows and one output. It receives the packets listed in Table 6.2 all at about the same time, in the order listed, during a period in which the output port is busy but all queues are otherwise empty. Give the order in which the packets are transmitted, assuming:
(a) fair queuing.
(b) weighted fair queuing with flow 2 having twice as much share as flow 1 and flow 3 having 1.5 times as much share as flow 1.
Note that ties are to be resolved in order flow 1, flow 2, flow 3.
