Suppose that the packet length is L= 1000 bytes, and that the link transmission rate along the link to router on the right is R = 1000 Mbps.
1. What is the transmission delay (the time needed to transmit all of a packet's bits into the link) (in milliseconds)?
I know that the answer to 1. is ---> The link transmission delay = L/R = 8000 bits / 1000 Mbps = 0.008 msec.
2. what is the maximum number of packets per second that can be transmitted by the link?
I need to know how to calculate 2. above, please help.
2)Maximum no of packets = R/L
=1000*10^6 bits/1000 bytes
=10^9 bits /8000 bits [since 1 byte =8 bits)
=125000 packets /second.
