The transmitter and receiver use a CRC chip and their processing time is negligible. How many packets are transmitted every second when there is no transmission error? b. Five transmission lines identical to the one discussed in a) are connected in series. A buffer is used at each connection between the links to store packets as required. How many packets will go through the five lines every second when there are no transmission errors? Now assume that a packet or its acknowledgement is corrupted on any given link with probability p.
