Question

Computer A is sending a 100 kByte long file to Computer B via packet-switching over two consecutive 10 Mbps links of 1000 km length each.
Assume that the signal propagation speed on both links is 2.5 x 10⁸ m/s.
Furthermore, assume that the maximum length of a packet is 1500 bytes and that Computer A fills each packet to the max, if possible.

If transmission starts at time t=0, at which time (in seconds) does the first bit arrive at the switch connecting link 1 and link 2?
