QUESTION:
We need to know the hardware propagation delay time of the
ethernet adapter on a RISC System/6000, model 320H. Put another way,
the propagation delay is the time, at the adapter, that
it takes to process a bit through the adapter. This would be a
component of the total delay for a physical network segment. Another
way of stating the question is, "How long does it take a bit to be
propagated through the adapter?". On a Sun, this delay is given as
critical network design we are doing.
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
Our Ethernet bandwidth is 10mb/sec and under ideal conditions the
adapter can drive at this rate. Since it is serial transmission
the propagation time per bit would be 0.1microseconds
(1/10meg).
