A network has a capacity of 90,000 frames per minute and the input to the network is 900 frames per second. If .05% of all transmitted frames are lost and must be repeated, what is the network utilization?

Question

A network has a capacity of 90,000 frames per minute and the input to the network is 900 frames per second.  If .05% of all transmitted frames are lost and must be repeated, what is the network utilization?

MathMate · Answer

transmission rate = 900 frames/s * 60s/min *1.0005 (due to retransmission) =54027 frames/min Capacity = 90000 frames/min Utilization =54027/90000 =60.03%
