Question
The distance from Earth to Mars is about 90 * 106 meters in the
best case (the exact distance depends on the relative orbital
positions of the two planets and can be much more). Assume there
is a link between Earth and Mars with a transmission rate of
2Mb/s. We need to send a packet from Earth to Mars over this link,
and the packet has a length of 3000 bits.
(Recall: light speed is 3,000,000 meters/sec)
1. What's the transmit delay ?
2. What's the propagation delay?
3. Ignore queuing and processing delay, what's the end-to-end
delay?
