The document discusses the end-to-end delay in packet switching, detailing the formula for delay when using store-and-forward switching. It also examines user capacity on a shared link with circuit and packet switching, explaining queuing delays based on user transmission patterns. Additionally, it lists delay components in a fixed route transmission, categorizing them as constant or variable.

1_R11. Suppose there is exactly one packet switch between a sending host and a receiving host.

The transmission rates between the sending host and the switch and between the switch and
the receiving host are R and R , respectively. Assuming that the switch uses store-and-forward
packet switching, what is the total end-to-end delay to send a packet of length L? (Ignore
queuing, propagation delay, and processing delay.)

 Suppose there is exactly one packet switch between a sending host and a receiving host.
The transmission rates between the sending host and the switch and between the
switch and the receiving host are R1 and R2, respectively. Assuming that the switch uses
store-and-forward packet switching, what is the total end-to-end delay to send a packet
of length L? (Ignore queuing, propagation delay, and processing delay.)

2_R13. Suppose users share a 2 Mbps link. Also suppose each user transmits continuously at 1
Mbps when transmitting, but each user transmits only 20 percent of the time.

 When circuit switching is used, how many users can be supported?

o 2 users can be supported because each user requires half of the link bandwidth.

 For the remainder of this problem, suppose packet switching is used. Why will there be
essentially no queuing delay before the link if two or fewer users transmit at the same
time? Why will there be a queuing delay if three users transmit at the same time?

o Since each user requires 1Mbps when transmitting, if two or fewer users transmit
simultaneously, a maximum of 2Mbps will be required. Since the available
bandwidth of the shared link is 2Mbps, there will be no queuing delay before the
link. Whereas, if three users transmit simultaneously, the bandwidth required
will be 3Mbps which is more than the available bandwidth of the shared link. In
this case, there will be queuing delay before the link.

 Find the probability that a given user is transmitting.

3_R16_Consider sending a packet from a source host to a destination host over a fixed
route. List the delay components in the end-to-end delay. Which of these delays are
constant and which are variable?
o Nodal Processing Delay (Constant).

o Queuing Dealy (Variable).

o Transmission Delay (Constant).

o Propagation Delay (Constant).
