Best answer 4 votes 4 votes Efficiency = Useful Time / Total Time = TT / RTT TT = 500b/ 1000Mb = 0.5 μs RTT = 250μs Efficiency = 0.5/250 = 0.5/250 = 0.002 Efficiency (in %) = 00.2 % Digvijay Pandey answered Feb 1, 2016 • selected Feb 2, 2016 by Akanksha Kesarwani Digvijay Pandey comment Share Follow See all 4 Comments See all 4 4 Comments reply Prashant Sharma 1 commented Jun 24, 2016 reply Follow Share Is it correct to say that: For Channel Efficiency:Consider only the data bits not the overhead bits. For Channel Utilization/Link Utilization/Sender Utilization: Consider both the data bits as well as overhead bits.

But what I think that it has to be 250.5, but anyway when we divide TT by (TT+RTT)*100 the output will be 0.199 which is nothing but 0.2 1 votes 1 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
