Suppose that a user seeks to download 10 images on a web page. Each image is 1,000 bytes and is treated as a separate object. Suppose that the user is directly connected to the web-server by a 10Mbps link (full duplex) with a propagation delay of 100μsec (roughly a distance of 30 km).
Ignore any other sources of delay.

a. Estimate how long it would take to download these images using HTTP with non-persistent connections without any pipelining.

 b. Estimate how long it would take to download these images using persistent connections and pipelining (i.e., the user can send all 10 requests one after the other, without waiting for any responses; assume that after getting a request, the server sends it back as soon as it is done sending the previous request.)
