Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Considering a hypothetical scenario where a cloud provider wishes to interconnect five data centers spread across North America and Europe, calculate the potential bandwidth costs involved if each center needs to send 100TB of data, assuming the rate for international connections is $0.10/GB.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate the total data cost based on the transmission rates given.

Question 2

Propose a traffic engineering solution aimed at reducing bandwidth costs and preventing potential congestion issues when managing data across geographically diverse data centers. Explain how this solution addresses the problem and its implications.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the use of technologies that manage how data moves in networks.
