PROBLEM SOLUTIONS 1

SOLUTIONS TO CHAPTER 1 PROBLEMS

1. The dog can carry 21 gigabytes, or 168 gigabits. A speed of 18 km/hour

equals 0.005 km/sec. The time to travel distance x km is x / 0.005 = 200x sec,

yielding a data rate of 168/ 200x Gbps or 840/x Mbps. For x < 5.6 km, the

dog has a higher rate than the communication line.

2. The LAN model can be grown incrementally. If the LAN is just a long cable.

it cannot be brought down by a single failure (if the servers are replicated) It

is probably cheaper. It provides more computing power and better interactive

interfaces.

3. A transcontinental fiber link might have many gigabits/sec of bandwidth, but

the latency will also be high due to the speed of light propagation over

thousands of kilometers. In contrast, a 56-kbps modem calling a computer in

the same building has low bandwidth and low latency.

4. A uni
