Chapter 1, Problem P20P

Explanation of Solution

Let ${\text{R}}_{\text{s}}$ be server link, ${\text{R}}_{\text{c}}$ be client link, $\text{R}$ be network link and M number of client-server pairs present in the links.

The general expression for throughput in terms of ${\text{R}}_{\text{s}}\text{,}{\text{R}}_{\text{c}}\text{,}\text{R and M}$ is as follows,

$\text{Throughput}\text{=}\text{min}\left\{{\text{R}}_{\text{s}}\text{,}{\text{R}}_{\text{c}}\text{,}\frac{\text{R}}{\text{M}}\right\}$

Therefore, th
