Calculate the bandwidth for each user on a 1Gb (1000Base-T) or 10Gb (10gBase-T) network. !!!!!!!!!!! The two bandwidths are different. It doesn’t effectively become one bandwidth for the whole system like you state. So, it will be two separate calculations !!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKE SURE YOU COVERED EVERYTHINGarrow_forward55.
