Two systems are connected by a router. Both systems and the router have transmission rates of 1,000bps. Each link has a propagation delay of 10ms. Also, it takes router 2ms in order to process the packet (e. g. decide where to forward it). Suppose the first system wants to send a 10,000 bit packet to the second system. How long will it take before receiver system receives the entire packet.

How long will it take before receiver system receives the entire packet.

Transmission time for first Router = 10,000 bits / 1000 bps = 10 seconds

Receiving time for seond route r= 10,000 bits / 1000 bps = 10 seconds

Propagation delay = 10ms = .01 seconds x 2 for two delays = .02 seconds

First router 2ms to process = .002 seconds

Add all the times together and we get 20.022 seconds which is the same as or 20 seconds and 22 ms
