Suppose users share a 3 Mbps link. Also, suppose each user requires 150 kbps when transmitting, but each user transmits only 10 percent of the time.

1. When circuit switching is used, how many users can be supported?
2. For the remainder of this problem, suppose packet switching is used. Find the probability that a given user is transmitting.
1. Suppose there are 120 users. Find the probability that at any given time, exactly n users are transmitting simultaneously. (Hint: Use the binomial distribution.)
2. Find the probability that there are 21 or more users transmitting
simultaneously.

A packet switch receives a packet and determines the outbound link to which the packet should be forwarded. When the packet arrives, one other packet is halfway done being transmitted on this outbound link and four other packets are waiting to be transmitted. Packets are ... rate is R, x bits of the currently-being-transmitted packet have been transmitted, and n packets are already in the queue?
Suppose two hosts, A and B, are separated by 20,000 kilometers and are connected by a direct link of R = 1Gbps. Suppose the propagation speed over the link is $2.5 10^8$ meters/sec Calculate the bandwidth-delay product, $R \times d _{prop}$. Consider sending a file of ... the maximum number of bits that will be in the link at any given time? What is the width (in meters) of a bit in the link?
.Suppose two hosts, A and B, are separated by 20,000 kilometers and are connected by a direct link of R = 2 Mbps. Suppose the propagation speed over the link is $2.5 \times 10^8$ meters/sec. Calculate the bandwidth-delay product, $R \times d _{prop}$. Consider ... a general expression for the width of a bit in terms of the propagation speed s, the transmission rate R, and the length of the link m.
