Answer 1

Data:

Bandwidth = 10 Mbps = 10⁶ bps

Data network can pass on average = 12,000 frames in 60 seconds.

1 frame = 10,000 bits

Calculation:

Therefore, data network can pass in 60 seconds = 12,000 × 10,000

Throughput is data network can pass in 1 second

Throughput = \(\frac{{12,000\; \times \;10,000}}{{60}}\) = 2,000,000 bps = 2 Mbps.
