Requirement 2:
a) Suppose in a shared network of five computers, a 15 MB file is transferred by a computer
without breaking down into packets across the network with 56Kpbs capacity. You are
required to calculate the time in minutes that it will take to transfer this file.
Solution:
Formula: File Size / Transfer Rate
Transfer Rate 56kbps
File Size= 15MB
15MB=15*1000Byte=15,000Byte
15000Byte*8Bit =1,20,000Bits
Time= 1,20,000 / 56 =2142.8sec
In Minutes:
2142.8 * 60 = 35.7 minutes
Note: You need to write all necessary formula(s) and calculation steps to give your answer.
b) Now, if the same file is broken into 2000 bytes packets, then you are required to calculate
the time in seconds that other computers must wait before beginning of data transfer.
Note: You need to write all necessary formula(s) and calculation steps to give your answer.
Solution:
Formula:
Time: File Size / Transfer Rate
Transfer Rate= 56kbps
Size= 2000 Bytes
Time= 2000*8 / 56 = 285.71 sec
