Suppose that a message is segmented into 3000 packets, with each packet being 1000 bytes. Suppose there is exactly one packet switch between a sending host and a receiving host. The transmission rate (R1) between the sending host and the switch is 10 Mbps, and between the receiving host and the switch (R2) it is 10 Mbps. Also assume that the switch uses store and forward packet switching and when the first packet is being sent from the switch to the receiving host, the second packet is being sent from the sending host to the switch. What is the end-to-end delay to send all packets? (In this question, ignore queuing, propagation delay, and processing delay.)
