How long does a propagation delay last?
A
100nsec
B
100msec
C
100psec
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Propagation delay, or delay, is a measure of the time required for a signal to propagate from one end of the circuit to the other. Network propagation delay is measured in nanoseconds (nS). Typical propagation delay for category 5e UTP is a bit less than 5 nS per meter (worst case allowed is 5.7 nS/m).

Detailed explanation-2: -(tpd)FF ≥ 10 nsec ∴ The minimum value of the propagation delay will be 10 nsec.

Detailed explanation-3: -The propagation delay of a physical link can be calculated by dividing the distance (the length of the medium) in meter by its propagation speed in m/s.

Detailed explanation-4: -The range of the cable delay is ±50, 000, 000 nanoseconds. The default value is 0 nanoseconds and the resolution is 1 nanosecond. The following formula is used to calculate the cable delay: D = ( L * C ) / V.
