To determine how long it takes for the whole packet to be put on the link, we need to know the size of the packet and the link speed or data rate.

Let's say the packet size is P bits and the link speed is S bits per second.

The time it takes to transmit the packet can be calculated using the formula:

Time = Packet size / Link speed

However, since the question asks for the time in milliseconds, we need to convert the units accordingly.

1 second = 1000 milliseconds

So, the time in milliseconds can be calculated using the formula:

Time (milliseconds) = (Packet size / Link speed) * 1000

Please provide the values of the packet size and link speed for a more accurate calculation.
