transfer an n-byte file along a path composed of the source, destination, seven point-to-point links, and five switches. Suppose each link has a propagation delay of 2us, bandwidth of 4Mbps, and that the switches support both circuit and packet switching. Thus you can either break the file up into 1-kB packets, or set-up a circuit through the switches and send the file as one contiguous bit stream. Suppose that packets have 24 bytes of packet header information and 1000 bytes of payload, that store-and-forward
