What is a Transmission Delay?

A transmission delay is a measure of the time it takes to put a data packet onto a transmission link. Transmission delay is also commonly referred to as store-and-forward delay or packetization delay because, in essence, it’s the time it takes for a packet to be pushed onto a wire.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ TD = \frac{1000}{100} = 10 \text{ seconds} \]

The transmission delay would be 10 seconds.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ TD = \frac{500}{200} = 2.5 \text{ seconds} \]

The transmission delay would be 2.5 seconds.
