transmission delay vs propagation delay



propagation delay means how much time your packet will take to reach from node A to node B,
and transmission delay means that how much time your packet will take to be transmitted at node B.

Propagation delay is how long it takes one bit to travel from one end of the "wire" to the other (it's proportional to the length of the wire)
Transmission delay is how long it takes to get all the bits into the wire (it's packet_length/data_rate).
