Answer:
938.7 milliseconds
Explanation:
Since the transmission rate is in bits, we will need to convert the packet size to Bits.
1 bytes = 8 bits
1 MiB = 2^20 bytes = 8 × 2^20 bits
5 MiB = 5 × 8 × 2^20 bits.
The formula for queueing delay of <em>n-th</em> packet is : (n - 1) × L/R
where L : packet size = 5 × 8 × 2^20 bits, n: packet number = 48 and R : transmission rate = 2.1 Gbps = 2.1 × 10^9 bits per second.
Therefore queueing delay for 48th packet = ( (48-1) ×5 × 8 × 2^20)/2.1 × 10^9
queueing delay for 48th packet = (47 ×40× 2^20)/2.1 × 10^9
queueing delay for 48th packet = 0.938725181 seconds
queueing delay for 48th packet = 938.725181 milliseconds = 938.7 milliseconds
