Calculating Utilization in a Stop-And-Wait Protocol
- by AlanTuring
So theres this question in my book and it doesn't state exactly how to go about actually calculating utilization anywhere, and i'm not being able to find any substantial information regarding everything i need to solve this question.(My mid term is next week).
Anyway, here's the question:
The distance from earth to a distant planet is approximately 9 × 10^10
m. What is the channel utilization if a stop-and-wait protocol is used
for frame transmission on a 64 Mbps point-to-point link? Assume that
the frame size is 32 KB and the speed of light is 3 × 10^8 m/s.
Suppose a sliding window protocol is used instead. For what send
window size will the link utilization be 100%? You may ignore the
protocol processing times at the sender and the receiver.
thanks to anyone who has any idea.
