What characteristic of Fiber make it the least prone to errors

Fiber is less susceptible to interference

2.Supposing you have a packet whose length is 1500 bytes, calculate is transmission delay for the
following different physical media (consider the maximum transmission Rate in each case) :

Packet length = 1500 bytes

But 1 byte = 8 bits

1500 bytes =1500*8bits

=12000 bits

a. STP cat 5

The transmission rate for STP cat 5 is 100 megabits/sec

100 megabits = 102400 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)102400 (bits/sec)

=0.117875secs

b. STP cat 6

The transmission rate for STP cat 6 is 1 gigabits/sec

1 gigabit = 800000 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)8000000 (bits/sec)

=0.0015secs

c. optical fiber cable

The transmission rate for optical fiber cable is 43 terabits/sec

43 terabits = 43000000000 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)43000000000 (bits/sec)

 =0.00000027907secs

d. wifi 802.11b

The transmission rate wifi 802.11b is 11 megabits/sec

11 megabits = 11264 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)11264 (bits/sec)

=1.06534090909secs

e. wifi 802.11g

The transmission rate for wifi 802.11g is 54 megabits/sec

54 megabits = 55296 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)55296 (bits/sec)

=0.21701388889secs

f. CEllular 4G

The transmission rate for Cellular 4g is 100 megabits/sec

100mb = 102400 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)102400 (bits/sec)

=0.1171875secs

g. Satellite link

The transmission rate for satellite link is 1000 gigabits/sec

1000 gigabits = 8000000000 bits

Transmission Delay =packet length L (bits)transmission rate R (bits/sec)

Transmission Delay =12000 (bits)8000000000 (bits/sec)

=0.0000015secs
