Question

In a network that has maximum packet size of 600 bytes a maximum packet lifetime of 30sec and a 8 bit packet sequence no.What is the max data rate in bps per connection?

Comments

There could be a situation where the application layer sends the 1B at a time in that case we send one packet at a time right?

yes brother you're right :p

sillllly mistakes :3

Ooo.. It's given 8 Bit packet sequence number...That means each packet is numbered..Totally missed out the packet part in the question :P sorryy..

Answer 1

theory : key point TCP is byte stream protocol means every byte sent is counted or numbered,

but in the question 

all work is done on the network layer means in the network layer every packet sent is counted or numbered 

now come to solution 

packet sequence no is 8 bits

maximum life is 30 sec

so maximum no of packet we can send =2⁸/30 packet per sec

given packet size is 600 byte

so maximum data can be send =600*2⁸/30 byte per sec

so maximum data can be send =600*8*2⁸/30 bits per sec

 = 40960 bps
