(a) If the signaling rate increases to 100 Mbps while keeping the delay constant, the minimum packet size would decrease.
(b) Larger minimum packet sizes can lead to increased latency and inefficient use of network bandwidth,
(c) To allow for a smaller minimum packet size, specifications could be revised
How to explain
If the signaling rate increases to 100 Mbps while keeping the delay constant, the minimum packet size would decrease.
This is due to the reduction in the time needed to transmit data, allowing for shorter packets.
(b) Larger minimum packet sizes can lead to increased latency and inefficient use of network bandwidth, as smaller packets might not fully utilize available capacity, resulting in slower communication for small data exchanges.
(c) To allow for a smaller minimum packet size, specifications could be revised by considering a more efficient error detection or correction mechanism, reducing the jam signal size, or introducing a different synchronization method to avoid collisions.
