Question
Please help!
Consider the figure below.
Assume that we know the bottleneck link along the path from the server to the client is the first link with rate Rs bits/sec. Suppose we send a pair of packets back to back from the server to the client, and there is no other traffic on this path. Assume each packet of size L bits, and both links have the same propagation delay dprop.
a. What is the packet inter-arrival time at the destination? That is, how much time elapses from when the last bit of the first packet arrives until the last bit of the second packet arrives?
Explanation / Answer
the question is pretty simple as:
bottleneck link means in communication. it utilizes the maximum of channel of dataflow i..e, it provides the maximum data rate to data flow.
inter-arrival time at the destination is transimission time of first packet. that is second packet is waiting for transimission of first packet.
the length of packet is L. and data rate is(at bottleneck) Rs bits/sec, so transmission time or inter-arrival time is= L/Rs
