PART FOUR - Bandwidth Calculations

Refer to the Power Point slide show Bandwidth and the accompanying video lecture, and the handout Bandwidth Examples and accompanying video lecture for these questions.  All are available in Moodle.

Calculate the minimum length of time it would take to download a 20MByte document from a workstation to a server across each of the following networks.  This means you will have to convert bytes to bits.  Assume that each byte is 10 bits (rather than 8) to account for packet overhead.  Divide the document size in bits by the bandwidth.  Enter your answers below.

1.      10-Gigabit Ethernet (for example10GBaseSR)

2.      Gigabit Ethernet (for example 1000BaseSX)

3.     Fast Ethernet (for example 100BaseTX)

4.      Ethernet (for example 10BaseT)

5.      56Kbps modem connection
