Consider a network with 4 links between two hosts where the maximum allowable packet size is 1000 bits; each link has a transmission rate of 2000 bits per second, except the second link has a transmission rate of 1000 bits per second. How long does it take to send 6000 bits from one host to the other? You may ignore propogation delay, assume there is no other traffic on the network, and assume that no routers drop packets due to queue length. Round your answer to two decimal places

Question

Consider a network with 4 links between two hosts where

  • the maximum allowable packet size is 1000 bits;
  • each link has a transmission rate of 2000 bits per second, except
  • the second link has a transmission rate of 1000 bits per second.

How long does it take to send 6000 bits from one host to the other?

You may ignore propogation delay, assume there is no other traffic on the network, and assume that no routers drop packets due to queue length. Round your answer to two decimal places.
