Question: Suppose 2 0 packets, 5 0 0 KByte each, are sent from host A to host B across a network of 4 routers. These routers

Suppose 20 packets, 500KByte each, are sent from host A to host B across a network of 4 routers. These
routers are separated by 10 Mbps links that are 1000m long each. Assume that the link propagation speed
is 2.5\times 108 m/s and there is no processing delay.
(a)(1 point) What is the transmission delay (in msec) of a single packet over the first link (A-R1)?
(b)(1 point) What is the propagation delay over the link (A-R1)?
(c)(4 points) What is the total end-to-end delay (in sec), i.e. the time from which host A begins
sending the first packet until the time B finishes receiving the last packet?
(d)(4 points) Now suppose that each router will take 5 msec to process each packet. What will be the
new end-to-end delay (in msec)?
