Question

Consider there are 4 stations in the token ring. There is only one packet in the ring. Suppose
if the station 1 holds the packet until it completes one revolution and returns to it then what
could be the Token Holding Time (THT)?
a) THT = Propagation delay+ 4*bit delay
b) THT = Transmission delay + Propagation delay + 4*bit delay
c) THT = Propagation delay + Transmission delay *4
d) THT = Transmission delay​

Answer 1

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

It has to cross 3 other stations each with both transmission and propagation delays,and packet residing at each station,consider its bit delay also.
