Chapter 1, Problem P23P

a.

Explanation of Solution

Let the pair of packets be A and B.

Given,

  • The rate of the first link from server to client is Rsbps.
  • The length of the each packet is L bits.
  • Packet B starts the transmission only after the completion of transmission of the packet A

b.

Explanation of Solution

When both the packets are sent back to back, the second packet B must cross the input queue of second link before the completion of the transmission of the first packet A.

Then, LRs+LRs+dprop<LRs+dprop+LRc

In the above inequality expression, the left hand side represents the time required by the packet B to cross the input queue of second link before the completion of the transmission of the packet A whereas the right hand side represents the time required by the packet A to complete the transmission on the second link.

If packet B is sent with the delay of time T seconds then,

LRs+LRs+dprop+
