Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A networking company has implemented a store-and-forward system. If buffers overflow occasionally leading to a 5% packet loss, how might they determine the optimal buffer size needed to reduce this loss?

💡 Hint: Consider how traffic analytics might influence your understanding of adequate buffer capacity.

Challenge 2 Hard

Calculate the total delay if a packet experiences a transmission delay of 50ms, a processing delay of 30ms, and a queuing delay of 20ms. What methods could reduce these delays?

💡 Hint: Look at each component of delay and think about potential improvements.
