A route of 340 km has 17 hops in between.

Effective bit rate per hop is 16.384 Mb/s and average link utilization is 80%.

The message is 486 bytes of payload and 28 bytes of header.

Velocity is 2 × 108 m/s.

How do I find the end to end delay of one packet?

  • This question might better suite to network engineering than ee.se? – Justme Jul 28 '20 at 18:27
  • @JRE: I know that you do a lot of clean-up edits. I'm not sure if you're aware that Stack Exchange supports HTML entities such as &deg;, &times;, &Omega;, &mu;, &pm; (+/-), &ge; (>=), etc. as well as <sup>...</sup> (superscript) and <sub>...</sub> in the posts but they don't render in the comments. – Transistor Jul 28 '20 at 18:45
  • Not used the HTML code as much.. $\deg \times \Omega \mu \pm \ge e^y R_x$ – Tony Stewart EE75 Jul 28 '20 at 20:21

Hint:

         _______
TX  ____|message|_______________________
                          _______
RX  _____________________|message|______
        <---------------->           (a)
     or <------------------------>   (b)

Where does the delay end? At (a) or (b).

Update your question with your thoughts and calculations for the rest of the question.

  • the route is 340km from source to destination with 17 hops/links. Assuming an MM1 queue I am trying to calculate the transmission + propagation + queuing + processing delay. I got 26ms for final answer but not sure – oddytony Jul 28 '20 at 20:22
  • OK, so edit your question and show your calculations. I haven't done the calculations yet. You didn't answer my hint question. – Transistor Jul 28 '20 at 22:17
