Suppose a 100-Mbps point-to-point link is being set up between Earth and a new lunar colony. The distance from the moon to Earth is approximately 385,000 km, and data travels over the link at the speed of light-3 × 108 m/s.
(a) Calculate the minimum RTT for the link.
(b) Using the RTT as the delay, calculate the delay × bandwidth product for the link.
(c) What is the significance of the delay × bandwidth product computed in (b)?
(d) A camera on the lunar base takes pictures of Earth and saves them in digital format to disk.
