Chapter 1, Problem P10P

Explanation of Solution

The formula for calculating the link rate to transmit the required packet is LengthofthepacketTransmissionrateofthelink=LRi

The rate of first link required to transmit the packet at first end system is LR1  and similarly for second and third links LR2 and LR3

The formula for calculating the propagation speed of the packet over the link is LengthofthelinkPropagationspeedofthelink=disi

The propagation speed of the packet over the first link is d1s1 and similarly for second and third links d2s2 and d3s3

The processing delay of the packet at each switch is dproc

The end-to-end delay of the packets can be calculated by using the below expression

dend-to-end=LR1+LR2<
