Question

Suppose that we are sending a 30 Mb 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.

1. 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 end-to-end delay?
