Sliding window protocols are

data link layer protocols for reliable and sequential delivery of data frames

. The sliding window is also used in Transmission Control Protocol. In this protocol, multiple frames can be sent by a sender at a time before receiving an acknowledgment from the receiver.

What is sliding window protocol explain with its types?

Go-Back-N ARQ Selective Repeat ARQ If a frame is corrupted or lost in it,all subsequent frames have to be sent again. In this, only the frame is sent again, which is corrupted or lost.

What is sliding window Explain go-back-n protocol in detail?

Go-Back-N protocol, also called Go-Back-N Automatic Repeat reQuest, is a data link layer protocol that uses a sliding window method for reliable and sequential delivery of data frames. It is a case of sliding window protocol

having to send window size of N and receiving window size of 1

.

What is sliding window method?

In the sliding window method,

a window of specified length, Len, moves over the data, sample by sample, and the statistic is computed over the data in the window

. The output for each input sample is the statistic over the window of the current sample and the Len – 1 previous samples.

How sliding window protocol works explain it?

To address this, sliding window protocols

allow a selected number of packets, the window, to be sent without having to wait for an ACK

. Each packet receives a sequence number, and the ACKs send back that number. The protocol keeps track of which packets have been ACKed, and when they are received, sends more packets.

What are the advantages of sliding window protocol?

  • It controls the speed of transmission so that no fast sender can overwhelm the slower receiver;
  • It allows for orderly delivery, as we will show;
  • It allows for retransmission of lost frames, specific retransmission policy depends on the specific implementations.

Which one of the following is a sliding window protocol?


Go – Back – N ARQ

provides for sending multiple frames before receiving the acknowledgment for the first frame. It uses the concept of sliding window, and so is also called sliding window protocol.

What is protocol in simple words?

A protocol is

a set of rules and guidelines for communicating data

. Rules are defined for each step and process during communication between two or more computers. Networks have to follow these rules to successfully transmit data.

Is UDP an IP?


UDP uses IP to get a datagram from one computer to another

. UDP works by gathering data in a UDP packet and adding its own header information to the packet. This data consists of the source and destination ports to communicate on, the packet length and a checksum.

How piggybacking is used in sliding window protocol?

Piggybacking data is a bit different from Sliding Protocol used in the OSI model. In the data frame itself, we incorporate one additional field for acknowledgment (called ACK). Whenever party A wants to send data to party B, it will carry additional ACK information in the PUSH as well.

Why sliding window used in Go-Back-N?

The sliding window (pipelined) protocols achieve utilization of network bandwidth by not requiring the sender to wait for an acknowledgment before sending another frame. In Go-Back-N,

the sender controls the flow of packets

, meaning we’ve got a simple and dummy receiver.

What is drawback of Go-Back-N protocol?

But it can also result in a huge drawback which is, if one acknowledgment is lost then it means that all the data packets transmitted are lost. Independent Ack: Here every data packet gets acknowledged independently. Here the reliability is high, but the main

drawback is high traffic

.

What is the size of the sender window in Go-Back-N ARQ protocol?

The size of the sender’s window is

4

. Step 1: As the window size is 4, so four packets are transferred at a time, i.e., packet no 1, packet no 2, packet no 3, and packet no 4.

What are sliding window problems?

Sliding Window problems are a type of problem that frequently gets asked during software engineering interviews and one we teach at Outco. They are

a subset of dynamic programming problems

, though the approach to solving them is quite different from the one used in solving tabulation or memoization problems.

When should you use a sliding window?

  1. We compute the sum of first k elements out of n terms using a linear loop and store the sum in variable window_sum.
  2. Then we will graze linearly over the array till it reaches the end and simultaneously keep track of maximum sum.

How do I know if I have a sliding window problem?

  1. Find the longest substring of a string containing k distinct characters. …
  2. Find all substrings of a string that are a permutation of another string. …
  3. Find the longest substring of a string containing distinct characters.
