2. Suppose a large file of size F bits is to be sent from host A to host B. There are two links and two routers on the path from A to B. The links are uncongested and the link propagation delays are negligible. Host A segments the file into segments of size S bits each and adds 60 bits of header to each segment, forming packets of size L = transmission rate of R bps. Find the value of S that minimizes the file transfer delay from S + 60 bits. Each link has a host A to host B.
