What differences in traffic patterns account for the fact that STDM is a cost-effective form of multiplexing for a voice telephone network and FDM is a cost-effective form of multiplexing for television and radio networks, yet we reject both as not being cost effective for a general- purpose computer network?

The most popular network architectures should be described. In your opinion, which one is the most trustworthy?
The throughput loss in wireless networks is much larger than in traditional networks. I am keen to learn the particular justification behind this.
We define data link layer communication efficiency as the ratio between a packet transmission time and the sum of the the packet transmission time-and twice of its, propagation time. A channel has a bit rate of 10 kbps and a propagation delay of 10,000 micro-second. For what range of frame sizes (in number of bit) does stop-and-wait give an efficiency of at most 60%?

What is the delay of sending a data file from a source station to a destination station? Suppose that the length of the data file is 2 Mbytes and the bandwidth of the channel is 1600 bps, and the network link between the sender and receiver is 20000 Km and the speed of the light inside the link is 2x108 meters/second? Assume that the delay is composed of only transmission time and propagation time.
