Q75

In a TDM medium access control bus LAN, each station is assigned one time slot per cycle for transmission. Assume that the length of each time slot is the time to transmit $100$ $\text{bits}$ plus the end-to-end propagation delay. Assume a propagation speed of $2 \times 10^8 m/sec$. The length of the LAN is $1$ $\text{km}$ with a bandwidth of $10$ $\text{Mbps}$. The maximum number of stations that can be allowed in the LAN so that the throughput of each station can be $2/3$ $\text{Mbps}$ is
