Assume two hosts, A and B, that are linked by a single link with a rate of R bps and are spaced m meters away from one another. A packet of size L bits is being sent from Host A to Host B. Suppose that the propagation through the connection is occurring at s meters/second. (Answer the following question while showing work) 1) When d-prop is bigger than d-trans, where is the packet's first bit at time t = d-trans? 2) At time t = d-trans, where d-prop is less than d-trans, where is the packet's first bit?

Assume two hosts, A and B, that are linked by a single link with a rate of R bps and are spaced m meters away from one another. A packet of size L bits is being sent from Host A to Host B. Suppose that the propagation through the connection is occurring at s meters/second.

(Answer the following question while showing work)

1) When d-prop is bigger than d-trans, where is the packet's first bit at time t = d-trans?

2) At time t = d-trans, where d-prop is less than d-trans, where is the packet's first bit?
