May 2, 2013 at 21:53 comment added Gerhard Paseman What happens in the real world is that the information is sent as packets to the various recipients, assuming some variant of TCP/IP is being used. As a simple case, model two requests for files of different sizes requested at slightly different times. If the requests were simltaneous and the file sizes the same, the wait time would double in an idealized situation. Since the requests are offset, the wait time for each is increased by the amount of time the pipe needs to be shared. After doing two requests, try three.

May 2, 2013 at 21:22 comment added Andy I'd like to treat this more as a math problem than a networks/queuing problem that's supposed to emulate a real-world scenario. I want to know how to model the particular problem as stated. I'm struggling particularly with the fact that I(y) changes with multiple users, because there could be overlapping requests that affect waiting time.
