Question:

A 10 Mbps Ethernet has a minimum gap between packets of 12 bytes, a 22-byte header, and a 4-byte trailer. Assume a user data field of 1464 bytes in a frame, with a minimum gap between each frame.

a. What is the maximum theoretical rate at which user data can be transmitted on the Ethernet?

b. IP packet headers are 20 bytes, and UDP packet headers are 8 bytes. What is the maximum theoretical rate at which user data can be transmitted using UDP on the Ethernet?

c. IP packet headers are 20 bytes, and TCP packet headers are 20 bytes. What is the maximum theoretical rate at which user data can be transmitted using TCP on the Ethernet? (Ignore the cost of ACKs.)
