Question

1. Consider a client and a server connected through one router. Assume the router can start transmitting an incoming packet after receiving its first h bytes instead of the whole packet. Suppose that the link rates are R byte/s and that the client transmits one packet with a size of L bytes to the server. What is the end-to-end delay? Assume the propagation, processing, and queuing delays are negligible. Generalize the previous result to a scenario where the client and the server are interconnected by N routers.

Answer 1

Answer:

As the total bytes are L, when h bytes out of L are sent from client to router the router immediately send these h bytes forward to next router. Thus simultaneously another set of h bytes reaches the router and therefore many actions are being performed in a simultaneous way.  

Explanation:

For finding end to end delay, calculations are done and briefed.
