Question

In this problem you will be doing some elementary calculations of
transmission and propagation delays.
Consider two hosts, A and B that are connected by a transmissions link of
2.1 Mbps. Assume that packets are of length 2.0 Kb (Kilobits) and the
length of the link is 100Km.
a. What is the propagation delay from A to B, that is the amount of time
from when the first bit of the packet is transmitted at A, until it is received
at B? and  What is the transmission time of the packet at A (the time from when the first bit of the packet is sent into the wire and the time at which the last bit is sent into the wire).
