In
telecommunication networks, the
transmission time, is the amount of time from the beginning until the end of a message transmission. In the case of a digital message, it is the time from the first bit until the last bit of a message has left the transmitting
node. The packet transmission time in seconds can be obtained from the
packet size in bit and the
bit rate in
bit/s as:
- Packet transmission time = Packet size / Bit rate
