Chapter 1 MC
In the following 7 problems, we are sending a 30 Mbit MP3 file from a source host to a destination host. All links in the
path between source and destination have a transmission rate of 10 Mbps. Assume that the propagation speed is 2 * 108
meters/sec, and the distance between source and destination is 10,000 km.

This activity contains 10 questions.

Initially suppose there is only one link between source and destination. Also suppose that the entire MP3
file is sent as one packet. The transmission delay is:

50 milliseconds

3 seconds

3.05 seconds

none of the above.

Referring to the above question, the end-to-end delay (transmission delay plus propagation delay) is

6 seconds

3 seconds

3.05 seconds

none of the above

Referring to the above question, how many bits will the source have transmitted when the first bit arrives
at the destination.

1 bit

30,000,000 bits

500,000 bits

none of the above

Now suppose there are two links between source and destination, with one router connecting the two
links. Each link is 5,000 km long. Again suppose the MP3 file is sent as one packet. Suppose there is no
congestion, so that the packet is transmitted onto the second link as soon as the router receives the entire
packet. The end-to-end delay is

3.05 seconds

6.05 seconds

6.1 seconds

none of the above

Now suppose that the MP3 file is broken into 3 packets, each of 10 Mbits. Ignore headers that may be
added to these packets. Also ignore router processing delays. Assuming store and forward packet
switching at the router, the total delay is

4.05 seconds

3.05 seconds

6.05 seconds

none of the above

Now suppose there is only one link between source and destination, and there are 10 TDM channels in the
link. The MP3 file is sent over one of the channels. The end-to-end delay is

300 microseconds

30.05 seconds

30 seconds

none of the above

Now suppose there is only one link between source and destination, and there are 10 FDM channels in the
link. The MP3 file is sent over one of the channels. The end-to-end delay is

3 seconds

30.05 seconds

300 microseconds

none of the above

Review the car-caravan example in Section 1.6. Again assume a propagation speed of 100 km/hour.
Suppose the caravan travels 200 km, beginning in front of one tollbooth, passing through a second
tollbooth, and finishing just before a third tollbooth. What is the end-to-end delay?

122 minutes

124 minutes

62 minutes

64 minutes

Referring to the above problem, suppose now that when a car arrives at the second tollbooth, it proceeds
through the tollbooth without waiting for the cars behind it. What is the end-to-end delay?

124 minutes

122 minutes and 12 seconds

62 minutes

122 minutes and 24 seconds


Suppose there are two links between a source and a destination. The first link has transmission rate 100
Mbps and the second link has transmission rate 10 Mbps. Assuming that the only traffic in the network
comes from the source, what is the throughput for a large file transfer?

1 Gbps

110 Mbps

100 Mbps

10 Mbps
