Consider the problem of transferring a bunch of files that are 20GB in size between San Marcos and Austin. You would like to send these files as fast as possible. You can use FedEx service or you could use your Internet connection which you can assume to be 10 Mbps in capacity and has 10 msec propagation delay. You can assume that transferring the files over the Internet connection would incur an extra 5% of overhead due to the headers. Answer the following problems:
How long would take to send those files over your Internet connection?
(b) If it would take FedEx 30 mins to deliver these files, what capacity would you need to beat the FedEx service?
(c) Given you cannot change your current capacity, what factor of compression for these files would it take to make the above two options the same? (Assume that the headers cannot be compressed and that FedEx takes 30 mins.)
