Given that you want to transfer a 3mb song by sending


Given that you want to transfer a 3MB song by sending packets across an Ethernet link that has a MTU of 1500 Bytes, answer the following questions. (for this question use 1MB = 1024KB, 1KB=1024Bytes)

a) If upper layers are aware that an Ethernet link is being traversed, they will match their IP packet size to 1500 bytes. In this scenario, how many IP packets will be required to transport the entire song?

b) For part a) what percentage of traffic is overhead generated from headers (transport and network layer only)?

c) If theupper network layers are unaware of the link MTU and instead attempt to send 5000 Byte packets, how many IP packets will be required to transport the entire song?

d) For part c) what percentage of traffic is overhead generated from headers?
