Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a packet of 2000 bytes to send over a link with a bandwidth of 2 Mbps. Calculate both the transmission delay and the potential queuing delay if you start sending this packet when the router is currently processing 5 other packets.

💡 Hint: Calculate how long it takes to process one packet before yours.

Challenge 2 Hard

If your network experiences a jitter of 150 ms and packet loss of 10%, describe how this would affect a real-time VoIP call. Provide solutions to mitigate these issues.

💡 Hint: Reflect on technologies that enhance VoIP performance.
