Computer Networking

Suppose the source has a message of 1 Gbit to be sent to the destination via a 3-link path (through two packet switches). Each link has a capacity of 10 Mbps and a propagation delay of 0.1 seconds. Ignore queuing and processing delays.

a) What is the end-to-end delay to send the message without segmentation?

b) What is the end-to-end delay if the message is sent with segmentation into 500 packets, of 2 Mbit each?

c) Repeat a) and b) when there are 10 links (i.e., 9 packet switches) between the source and the destination

d) Suppose now that each packet needs a header of 1 Kbit. Repeat the calculation in b) (for the 3-link case).
