Consider sending a message over a path with intermediate nodes in a circuit switched network and in a (lightly-loaded) datagram packet-switched network. The propagation delay is 2.147 micro-seconds (us) per hop and the data rate at each node is (Mega bits per second). Suppose the packet size is .
Assume that the packet headers can be ignored in the packet-switched network and it is lightly loaded (in other words, the queueing delays in each intermediate node are zero).
How big does the circuit setup time have to be in for packet switching to be the same or quicker than circuit switching. Round your answer if needed.
