圣伯纳犬伯尼

Imagine that you have trained your St. Bernard, Bernie, to carry a box of three 8mm tapes instead of a flask of brandy. (When your disk fills up, you consider that an emergency.) These tapes each contain 7 gigabytes. The dog can travel to your side, wherever you may be, at 18 km/hour. For what range of distances does Bernie have a higher data rate than a transmission line whose data rate (excluding overhead) is 150 Mbps?

想象一下，你训练了你的圣伯纳犬伯尼，让它携带一盒三盒8毫米的磁带，而不是一瓶白兰地。(当磁盘被填满时，你认为这是紧急情况。)这些磁带每个有7gb。无论你身在何处，这只狗都能以每小时18公里的速度跑到你身边。在什么距离范围内，伯尼的数据速率比数据速率(不包括开销)为150mbps的传输线高?

(1)  3*7gigabytes = 21gigabytes = 168 gigabits

18km/hour = 0.005m/s

x/0.005 = 200x

So: 168gigabits/200x > 150/1024 Gbps

x > 5.73 (or x > 5.6 if you suggest that 150Mbps =150/1000 Gbps)
