Question 1

What does average waiting time in the system (W) indicate?

  • Total time before processing
  • Total packets in the queue
  • Actual data rate

πŸ’‘ Hint: It's about understanding the total wait plus processing.

Question 2

True or False: High packet loss rates are beneficial for network performance.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the impact of dropped packets on communication.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a router where 30 packets arrive every minute and it can only process 12 packets per minute, analyze the impact on average waiting time and packet loss if this trend continues.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the imbalance between arrival and service rates creates bottlenecks.

Question 2

How would changing the service rate of a router from 10 packets/min to 20 packets/min influence the average queue length (Lq) in a scenario with a constant arrival rate of 15 packets/min?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize a bus that has more seats (service rate) than passengers (arrival rate).
