To calculate the time required to send 200 words from the master to both
slaves and have 200 words returned from each slave, use the following
procedure:
1. 400 words (Two 200-word output files in master)
400 words
(One 200-word output file in each slave)
800 words/16 and rounding up = 50.
2. All the scanners used for peer-to-peer communication channel A have
4 active channels.
3. From Table 3.C, the nominal peer-to-peer time for 4 active channels
and a communication rate of 115.2k is 10.5ms.
4.
Update time = 10.5ms x 50 = 525ms.
