A packet of 10 Kb is to be downloaded from a web server.
Find the time needed to download this packet using:
a) A dial up telephone connection at 28 Kbps
b) A cable modem at 28 Mbps.
Answer Posted / david tilley
The straight maths answer is: Ti = Fs/Sp
Where:
Ti...Time
Fs..FileSize
Sp..Speed
a) Ti = 10,000 / 28,000
= 357ms
b) Ti = 10,000/ 28,000,000
= 357uS
However.... In practice transfer times would be longer than
this depending on the overhead added to handle error
checking/recovery.
