Are you guys allowed to give guidance in homework assignments? &nbsp;I am stuck on a homework question, but I am not sure where to begin and just would like a little guidance if possible. &nbsp;I do not want the answer given to me, just some guidance on how to achieve the answer myself. &nbsp;Can someone help? &nbsp;If not I will understand... here is the question...<br />
<br />
Networking guru Andrew Tanenbaum once said (paraphrased here), &quot;Never underestimate the bandwidth of a delivery truck full of magnetic tape hurtling down the highway.&quot; &nbsp;Explain what Tanenbaum meant, using the following scenario as an example: &nbsp;(1) an industry standard 8-mm tape can store 7 GB of data; (2) a 50 x 50 x 50 cm box can store 1000 of these tapes; (3) a box of tapes can be delivered anywhere in the United States in 24 hours by Federal Express. &nbsp;As part of your answer, calculate the effective bandwidth of this transmission.<br />
