Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Go-Back-N protocol stores the out of order packets in buffer.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The receiver accepts packets only in sequence; it does not buffer packets received out of order. Consequently, if the transmitter sends N packets and if the first is lost, then it must resend all the N packets starting from the first one. Hence the name Go-Back-N.

Detailed explanation-2: -If acknowledgment for a frame is not received, the whole window of frames is retransmitted instead of just the corrupted frame. Retransmission of all the frames on detecting a corrupted frame increases channel congestion and also increases the bandwidth requirement. More items •12-Jul-2022
