A network has a data transfer rate of 100 Mbps and a propagation delay of 20 ms. What is the total delay for a packet of 1000 bits?
Q1. A network has a data transfer rate of 100 Mbps and a propagation delay of 20 ms. What is the total delay for a packet of 1000 bits?
Answer: 20.01 ms
Explanation: Transmission delay = Packet size / Data transfer rate = 1000 / (100 * 10^6) = 0.01 ms. Total delay = Transmission delay + Propagation delay = 0.01 + 20 = 20.01 ms.
