Suppose BLAST runs over a 10-Mbps Ethernet, sending 32K messages.
(a) If the Ethernet packets can hold 1500 bytes of data, and option less IP headers are used as well as BLAST headers, how many Ethernet packets are required per message?
(b) Calculate the delay due to sending a 32K message over Ethernet
(i) directly
(ii) broken into pieces as in (a), with one bridge
Ignore propagation delays, headers, collisions, and inter packet gaps.
