15 devices communicate with each other on a shared channel,using token passing. All devices transmit equal traffic. Receivingthe token allows a device to transmit one frame carrying 3,100 databits. The frame header and trailer add to 64 bits. A token is aframe of 64 bits.
The channel bit rate is 4.2 Mbit/s. The average propagationdelay between devices is 4.3 μs. The system is designed to operateat a link utilisation of 0.6. Calculate the throughput for onedevice (the rate of transmission of useful data bits). Give youranswer in kbit/s, rounded to an integer.
