Answer:
Average number of packets in queue(queue depth) = 10.63packets
Explanation:
We are given:
Number of users = 5
Rate= 10pps
Average packet length = 1024bits
To find the average number of packets (queue depth), we are given the formula:
[tex] Queue depth = \frac{Utilization}{1-Utilization}[/tex]
But we need to find utilization first, therefore
Utilization = load/ WAN
But load=5*10*1024bits =51200bps
Utilization = 51200/56000 = 0.914
Therefore,
[tex]Queue depth = \frac{0.914}{1-0.914}[/tex]
= 10.63 packets
