Fiber is less prone to errors than other physical media because its transmission is not impacted by interference. The document then calculates the transmission delay for a 1500 byte packet across several physical media types. It finds that fiber has the lowest transmission delay at 0.00000027907 seconds, followed by satellite link at 0.0000015 seconds, due to their extremely high transmission rates of 43 terabits/sec and 1000 gigabits/sec respectively. Wireless connections like 802.11b have the highest delays, with 802.11b calculated to take 1.06534090909 seconds for transmission.

1.

What characteristic of Fiber make it the least prone to errors

Fiber is less susceptible to interference

2.Supposing you have a packet whose length is 1500 bytes, calculate is transmission delay for the
following different physical media (consider the maximum transmission Rate in each case) :

Packet length = 1500 bytes

But 1 byte = 8 bits

1500 bytes =1500*8bits

=12000 bits

a. STP cat 5

The transmission rate for STP cat 5 is 100 megabits/sec

100 megabits = 102400 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)102400 (bits/sec)

=0.117875secs

b. STP cat 6

The transmission rate for STP cat 6 is 1 gigabits/sec

1 gigabit = 800000 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)8000000 (bits/sec)

=0.0015secs

c. optical fiber cable

The transmission rate for optical fiber cable is 43 terabits/sec

43 terabits = 43000000000 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)43000000000 (bits/sec)


=0.00000027907secs

d. wifi 802.11b

The transmission rate wifi 802.11b is 11 megabits/sec

11 megabits = 11264 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)11264 (bits/sec)

=1.06534090909secs

e. wifi 802.11g

The transmission rate for wifi 802.11g is 54 megabits/sec

54 megabits = 55296 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)55296 (bits/sec)

=0.21701388889secs

f. CEllular 4G

The transmission rate for Cellular 4g is 100 megabits/sec

100mb = 102400 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)102400 (bits/sec)

=0.1171875secs

g. Satellite link

The transmission rate for satellite link is 1000 gigabits/sec

1000 gigabits = 8000000000 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)8000000000 (bits/sec)

=0.0000015secs
