Q. 63 Since it is a network that uses switch, every packet goes through two links, one from source to switch and other from switch to destination.
Since there are 10000 bits and packet size is 5000, two packets are sent. Transmission time for each packet is 5000 / 107</sup microseconds.
Two hosts are connected via a packet switch with 107 bits per second links. Each link has a propagation delay of 20 microseconds. The switch begins forwarding a packet 35 microseconds after it receives the same. If 10000 bits of data are to be transmitted between the two hosts using a packet size of 5000 bits, the time elapsed between the transmission of the first bit of data and the reception of the last bit of the data in microseconds is _________.
(A) 1075
(B) 1575
(C) 2220
(D) 2200
Answer: (B)
