What is the latency for a packet of size 1000 bytes sent over a link with a data rate of 1000000 bps and a propagation delay of 10 ms?
Q1. What is the latency for a packet of size 1000 bytes sent over a link with a data rate of 1000000 bps and a propagation delay of 10 ms?
Answer: 18 ms
Explanation: Latency = Transmission Delay + Propagation Delay = (1000 * 8 / 1000000) + 0.01 = 0.008 + 0.01 = 0.018 s or 18 ms.
