if you send onebyte messages with UDP then for every byte yo

if you send one-byte messages with UDP, then for every byte you create an ethernet packet of size (1+8+20+26)= 53 bytes.
the maximum throughput you could ever get at the UDP service interface using 64kbps channel would be:

1.2kb/s or 150 ?

do I have to convert units ? or just divide 64 by 53? and why?

I need a specific number of throughput!

Solution

ANSWER:

The maximum throughput for the UDP service is 64kbps= 64*1000(as 1kb=1000 bytes)

=64000 bytes

and for every byte we are passing ethernet packet of size 53 bytes

Therefore the maximinum throughput for a UDP service= 64000/53

=1207.5471 bytes

=1.207 kb/s

So, the maximum throughput is 1.2kb/s
