Packet (pkt) Size

= 218 bytes/pkt = 1744 bits/pkt

Data Packets arrive every 20 ms (λi = 1 for each phone)

C = Packet Service Rate × Average Packet Length = (260.4 packets/s) × (1744 bits/packet) = 0.454 Mbps

Processing Time Line for One Phone

Packet Processing

Time Division

10/100 Mbps switch accommodates the system capacity

System Utilization = 0.454 Mbps ÷ 10 Mbps = 4.54%

Traffic Intensity = ρ = λT ÷ μT ≈ 76.8 %

Type of Frame % of Frames

Combined ~ 60%

Overall Saving ~ 30%

Voiced ~ 90%

Unvoiced ~ 10%
