Calculate the data rate capacity for a 2400 baud signal where there are M=8 levels per symbol. a. 2400 bps b. 4800 bps c. 7200 bps d. 9600 bps

C. 7200 bps.

Explanation:

In networking, transmission lines or connectors and ports operates at a specific speed based on the port type and the cable or medium of transmission.

Baud rate is a concept in digital information technology that defines the rate of symbol per channel during transmission. The bit or data rate is the number of bits transfered in a link per second.

The relationship between baud rate and bit rate is;

Bit rate = baud rate x number of symbol bit level

To get the bit rate of a 2400 baud signal with symbol level = 8 = 2^3

Bit rate = 2400 x 3. = 7200 bps.

answer: internal fragmentation is the difference between the (fixed) size of a memory hole and the data within in that memory. for example, if a 1,024 byte block of memory holds 800 bytes of data, then the 224 bytes difference is considered lost to internal fragmentation.

external fragmentation occurs when the sum of memory fragments is large enough to satisfy a request, but the holes are non-contiguous and the request cannot be satisfied. this can occur when memory is dynamically allocated and freed.
