Question: ( 2 0 points: 1 0 points for circuit switching and 1 0 for packet switching ) Compute the completion time for both circuit switching

(20 points: 10 points for circuit switching and 10 for packet switching) Compute the
completion time for both circuit switching and packet switching under the following
conditions:
The destination is 4 hops away from the source with 4 links (i.e.,3 intermediate routers
between the source and the destination).
The distance between any two adjacent nodes is 10 Km.
The signal propagation speed is 5x105 m per second.
The message size is 4 Mega bits (1 Mega =106)
The maximum packet size is 100k bits (1k =103. You can ignore the size of the header.).
The transmission speed of each link is 100 Mega bps (bits per second).
The processing time for routing decision and queuing delay at each router/switch is 2
mili-seconds.
The packet size for a circuit setup packet for circuit switching is 1000 bits (once again
you can ignore the header size). However, the routing decision time and queuing delay at
each router/switch for both circuit setup and packet switching are still 2 mili-seconds.
Please compute the circuit set up time accordingly and the total time for both circuit
switching and packet switching.
