Suppose 10 connections traverse the same link of rate 1 gbps. suppose that the client access links all have rate 5 mbps. what is the maximum throughput for each connection? a. 5mbps b. 5mbps c. 100mbps d.100mbps e. 1000mbps f. 1000mbps

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.

so…overall none of the computers get the data as the original message or picture being sent by the server cannot be retrieved with only half the packets. so it will show up as an error.

thus the final answer is d.
