In a token ring network the transmission speed is 10⁷ bps and the propagation speed is 200 m/μs. The 1-bit delay in this network is equivalent to
Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. 20 m
Explanation
One bit lasts 1/10⁷ s = 0.1 μs. In that time the signal travels 200 m/μs × 0.1 μs = 20 m.More Data Communication and Computer Networks questions
