token is 64 bytes long (the 10-Mbps Ethernet minimum packet size), what is the average wait to receive the token on an idle network with 40 stations? (The average number of stations the token must pass through is 40/2 = 20.

Given that,

Token is 64 bytes long

The average number of stations that the token must pass = 20

We need to calculate the transmission delay for token

Using formula of transmission delay

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the average wait to receive token on an idle network with 40 stations

Using formula of average wait

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The average wait to receive token on an idle network with 40 stations is 1.024 ms.
