Consider a satellite communication link with a one way propagation delay of 300ms between the sender and receiver, operating at 10Mbps using packets of length 1500bytes. Length of the ACK packet is also 1500 bytes.
a) What is the minimum timeout period required for the Stop-and-Wait protocol? The timer is set when the last bit is transmitted.
b) What is the maximum effective data rate of the link for this protocol?
c) Find the minimum window size with which Go-Back-N would be able to achieve 100% efficiency in the absence of any errors.
d) Find the data rate that can be achieved with Stop & Wait and Go-Back-N, if the frame error rate is 10-2 ?
