Consider the store and forward packet switched network in which bandwidth of each link is 2 × 106 bytes/sec. A user on host A sends a file of size 5000 bytes to host B through routers R1, R2, and R3 in three different ways. In the first case a single packet containing the complete file is transmitted from A to B. In the second case, the file is split into 20 equal parts, and these packets are transmitted from A to B. In the third case, the file is split into 40 equal parts and these packets are sent from A to B. Each packet contains 100 bytes of header information along with the user data. Consider only transmission time and ignore processing, queuing and propagation delays. Also assume that there are no errors during transmission. Let T1, T2 and T3 be the times taken to transmit the file in the first, second and third case respectively. Which one of the following is CORRECT?
1
T3 > T1 > T2
2
T2 > T1 > T3
3
T1 > T2 > T3
4
T1 > T3 > T2
