9.2. Capacity Constraints and Revenue

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the minimum bandwidth required between users A and B?

   Hint

   Look for the requirements stated in the problem.

2. 2.

   Define bandwidth.

   Hint

   Think about how data travels between users.

3. 3.

   What is the minimum bandwidth required between users A and B?

   • 1 Mbps
   • 2 Mbps
   • 3 Mbps

   Hint

   Refer to user requirements stated at the beginning.

4. 4.

   True or False: Capacity constraints prevent overload in a network.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the reason why limits exist.

5. 5.

   Given a network with three users and maximum capacities on each link, propose an allocation strategy that maximizes total revenue while adhering to the constraints. Each allocation must meet the minimum requirement.

   Hint

   Start by ensuring all minimums are met before focusing on maximizing revenue.

6. 6.

   Analyze the effect of increasing the rate charged for one route. How would this impact revenue maximization and potential allocations?

   Hint

   Consider the balance between user satisfaction and revenue generation.
