Question

Q. When calculating channel efficiency, they have not mentioned propagation delay (i.e. the delay it takes for last bit to cross the link in successful transmission)

Q. But here they have mentioned propagation delay (i.e. the delay it takes for last bit to cross the link in successful transmission)

[[ second part ethernet efficiency ]]

Please tell should I take the propagation delay of the last bit in calculating efficiency and throughput ?

@vijaycs sir Please help

Answer 1

Propagation delay doesnt depend upon the size of the packet.It depends upon the speed of the signal in the channel.
 Rather, I think its a channel property. Its like the difference between 8 lane highways and 2 lane highways.

I say to Lambhorghini that drive on 2 lane highway. It will go like Maruti Alto. But if its 8 lane road, it will be like superfast bullet train.

Here the car was same, channels were different.

Similarly, packet is always the same but the time required to cross a channel depends upon the channel I think.

SO I should take propagation time

CSMA/CD $Throughput = \frac{FrameSize}{TransmissionPeriod+CollitionPeriod+PropagationPeriod}$

Propagation time is

length of channel/ speed of signal in channel.
