Consider the following values to calculate the minimum value of x:
Whereas, “1 Mbps =
Assume the size of the photo as “x”.
For every one minute, the satellite takes a digital photo and sends it to the base station; hence the frequency is “1 per minute”. One photo is transmitted per 60 seconds; therefore, the interval between each photo is “60 seconds”.
Calculating minimum value of “x” by multiplying the value of transmission rate “R” and time taken for each photo to transmit

Suppose the propagation speed over the link is 2.5 x 108 meters/sec. 1. Calculate the bandwidth-delay product, R x dprop. 2. Consider sending a file of 800, 000 bits from Host A to Host B. Suppose the file is sent continuously as one large message. What is the maximum number of bits that will be in the link at any given time? 3. Provide an interpretation of the bandwidth-delay product?arrow_forwardConsider sending real-time data from Host A to Host B over a packet-switched network. Host A takes an 8-bit measurement every millisecond, and Host A collects these into 64-byte packets. There is one link between Hosts A and B; its transmission rate is 5 Mbps, its propagation delay is 2 × 108 meters/sec, and its length is 3 km. As soon as Host A gathers a packet, it sends the packet to Host B. How much time elapses from the time that Host A begins to take the first measurement in a packet until the entire packet reaches Host B?arrow_forward

Referring to the above question, how many bits will the source have transmitted when the first bit arrives at the destination? 2. 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.

What is the transmission time of the packet at A (the time from when the first bit of the packet is sent into the wire and the time at which the last bit is sent into the wire). c. Suppose now that that length of the link is doubled. What is the propagation delay from A to B now and what is the transmission time? d.

Approximately how long does it take for the page (including images) to appear on the user's screen, assuming non-persistent HTTP using a single connection at a time?
