The NMS you are using is on a 10-Mbps LAN, which functions with 30% efficiency. What would be the frequency of your ping if you were not to exceed 5% overhead?

No. of workstations in an organization = 24000

Message size = 128 bytes long

LAN = 10Mbps

Efficiiency = 30% efficiency

Traffic on the server =

Maximum round trip = 10 Mbps

$ 10 \times 10^6 \text{bits/sec} \times 0.3 = 10^6 = y$

$256 \times 8 bits + 256 \times 8 \times 0.05 = x$

$x = 2048 + 102.4$

Frequency of ping = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{10^6}{2150.4}$

Frequency of ping = 465.02
