Consider sending a large file of F bits from host A to host B. There are three links, (and two switches) between A and B, and the links are uncongested (i.e., no queuing delays at the switches). Host A segments the file into segments of S bits each and adds 80 bits of header to each segment, forming packets of L = 80 + S bits. Each link has a transmission rate of R bps and the hosts A and B send/receive at that rate.
Derive the formula from this information that computes the total time to transmit the file (that means the file is sent in its entirety by A and completely received by B).
Hint: How long for first packet? How long for each of the additional packets?
