Suppose you would like to urgently deliver 40 Giga bytes of data from Los Angeles city to New york city. You have 500 Kilo bits dedicated link for data transfer available. Would you prefer to transmit the data via this link or instead you will bring the data by yourself New york. Explain your Answer.

Question
  • Suppose you would like to urgently deliver 40 Giga bytes of data from Los Angeles city to New york city. You have 500 Kilo bits dedicated link for data transfer available. Would you prefer to transmit the data via this link or instead you will bring the data by yourself New york. Explain your Answer.
Expert Solution
Step 1: Given

Data of 40 Gigabytes

Data Transfer 500 kilo bits

Step 2: Calculation

Conversion of 1 GB to bytes

1 GB= 1 * 10 9 bytes

Conversion of 1 GB to bits

1 GB= 1* 10 9 * 8 bits

Conversion of 40 GB to bits

40 GB = 40 * 10 9 * 8 bits

Conversion of 500 kilobits to bits

500 kilobits = 500 *1000 bits

 

If we use the dedicated link to transfer  (40 * 10 9 * 8) bits / (500 *1000 )bits  = 640000 seconds

It will take 7.4 days approx.
