How long does it take to transmit (put on the wire) a 1,500-byte packet on a 10 Mbps link?

  1. 1.2 ms
  2. 0.15 ms
  3. 12 ms
  4. 0.12 ms
Answer and explanation

Answer: A. 1.2 ms

Explanation: Transmission delay = packet size / bandwidth = (1,500 × 8) bits / (10 × 10^6 bits per second) = 12,000 / 10,000,000 s = 1.2 ms.
