Consider a CSMA/CD network that transmits data at a rate of $100\;\textsf{Mbps}\; (10^8\;\text{bits}$ per second) over a $1\;\textsf{km}$ (kilometre) cable with no repeaters. If the minimum frame size required for this network is $1250\;\text{bytes},$ What is the signal speed $\textsf{(km/sec)}$ in the cable?

  1. $8000$
  2. $10000$
  3. $16000$
  4. $20000$

Answer D.

Since its a CSMA/CD protocol, the formula TT=2*PT applies. TT is transmission time , PT is propagation time

TT= data/bandwidth

PT=distance/ velocity.

 putting values we get 20000

CSMA/CD

bandwidth ,b=100 Mbps

distance , d= 1km

no repeaters

l=1250 * 8 bits

tf>= 2tp

l/b >= 2 * d/v

v=2 * 1000 * 100,000000/(1250*8)

v = 20000 km/sec
