For a 10Mbps Ethernet link, if the length of the packet is 32bits, the transmission delay is ____________ (in microseconds)3.2320.32320

The transmission delay, also known as serialization delay, is the amount of time it takes for a packet to be completely put on the link. This is calculated by dividing the packet size by the link speed.

Here's how you can calculate it:

1. Convert the link speed to bits per second. 10Mbps is 10,000,000 bits per second.
2. Convert the packet size to bits. 32 bits is already in bits.
3. Divide the packet size by the link speed to get the transmission delay in seconds.

So, the calculation would be:

(32 bits / 10,000,000 bits per second) = 0.0000032 seconds

Since 1 second is equal to 1,000,000 microseconds, you would then convert the time from seconds to microseconds:

0.0000032 seconds * 1,000,000 = 3.2 microseconds

So, the transmission delay for a 32-bit packet over a 10Mbps Ethernet link is 3.2 microseconds.
