What is the the relation between the amount of data transmitted and line distance? I am wondering what is the relation between line distance and the amount of data transmitted on that line. I know only the basic of computer science. Let's say I want to calculate the time it takes for 100 GB to transfer over a line with the speed of 100MBps. If I just divide them, I will get 1000 seconds but in my online class, the lecturer said the time depends on the line distance. Since it is an introductory course, he doesn't explain anymore. So my question is, how is it relevant and why? I know the simple answer should be the resistance of the line increase as it got longer but does the resistance affect on the needed time significantly? How could I calculate the needed time with distance?
Distance sets lower bounds on latency, the effect on throughput as opposed to data rate depends on protocol.
Raw error rate increases with distance.
