Question: Consider two nodes A and B directly connected to each other over a link which has the transmission rate of 1 Mbps. The propagation delay
Consider two nodes A and B directly connected to each other over a link which has the transmission rate of 1 Mbps. The propagation delay between the two nodes is 5ms. Now assume at time t = 0, 300 packets arrive simultaneously at node A and all of them have to be sent to node B (one by one). Assume that at t = 0, there were no packets in the queue at node A, and node A has a buffer that is large enough to hold all 300 packets. Ignore the processing delay at both nodes. Assume that the size of each packet is 5000 bytes.
Answer the following questions,
Consider the 200th packet. How much time the packet has to wait in the queue at node A before it can be transmitted?
By the time, the 200th packet is completely transmitted, how many packets are already received by node B?
How much time it will take before the 300th packet is completely received at node B?
