Easy one. What is you definition of get there? Is it when the first bit hits
the destination interface? Or is it when the entire packet is recieved at
the destination. Is the wire distance between the source and destination the
same? Can we ignore any differences between the host machines, (ie a 486
running NT 4 server vs a dual Pentium III machine running Linux)? Can we
assume both packets leave at the same time? Can we assume there are no
variable such as switches/hubs/etc between the hosts?
Assuming the distance is the same, ignoring host differences, and 1 bit
arriving is defined as getting there, and no hub/switches/etc variable, then
they will arrive at the same time.
Assuming all of the above except that getting there means the entire packet
arrives, then the 100mb would arrive first. The serialization delay is
1/10th of what is it on a 10mb pipe.
