Question:
Frame Arrival Rates: Example Problems
Frames arrive randomly at a 100 Mbps channel for transmission. If the channel is busy when a frame arrives, it waits its turn in a queue. Frame length is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10,000 bits/frame. For each of the following frame arrival rates, give the delay experienced by the average frame, including both queuing time and transmission time.
a. 90 frames/sec
b. 900 frames/sec
c. 9000 frames/sec
