Question: 1 . Suppose we wish to send a 5 0 0 MB file ( note that MB means megabytes, and 1 byte = 8 bits

1. Suppose we wish to send a 500MB file (note that MB means megabytes, and 1 byte =8 bits). The maximum segment size (or datagram size for UDP) along the path is 1300 bytes, so no segment/datagram may exceed 1300 bytes in length
a. How many UDP datagrams must we send to send the entire contents of the file (assume no loss or corruption of packets)?
b. How many TCP segments must we send to send the entire contents of the file (you may ignore segments solely acknowledging receipt, as we do not know for sure how often the recipient will send them, but do not forget the TCP 3-way handshake)?
