Question: Consider the figure below, in which a single router is transmitting packets, each of length L bits, over a single link with transmission rate

 Consider the figure below, in which a single router is transmitting packets,  

Consider the figure below, in which a single router is transmitting packets, each of length L bits, over a single link with transmission rate R Mbps to another router at the other end of the link. L: packet length (in bits) R: link transmission rates (Mbps) Queue of packets waiting for output link. Suppose that the packet length is L=8000bits, and that the link transmission rate along the link to router on the right is R=1Mbps. 1- What is the formula to express the transmission delay (the time needed to transmit all of a packet's bits into the link)? 2- What is the value of the transmission delay in the above configuration? 3- What is the maximum number of packets per second that can be transmitted by the link?
