A sender is transmitting data at a rate of 1000 bits/second. If the receiver's buffer size is 100 bits, what is the maximum propagation delay allowed?
Q1. A sender is transmitting data at a rate of 1000 bits/second. If the receiver's buffer size is 100 bits, what is the maximum propagation delay allowed?
Answer: 0.1 seconds
Explanation: To avoid buffer overflow, the propagation delay should be less than or equal to buffer size / transmission rate = 100 / 1000 = 0.1 seconds.
