Suppose that a certain communications protocol involves a perpacket overhead of 100 bytes for headers and framing.

Question:

Suppose that a certain communications protocol involves a perpacket overhead of 100 bytes for headers and framing. We send 1 million bytes of data using this protocol; however, one byte is corrupted, and the entire packet containing it is thus lost. Give the total number of overhead + loss bytes for packet data sizes of 1000, 5000, 10,000, and 20,000 bytes. Which size is optimal?
