Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Receiver window size in the Stop and Wait protocol is 1. The Receiver window size in the Go-Back-N protocol is 1. The Receiver window size in the Selective Repeat technique is N. The minimum sequence number in the Stop and Wait procedure is 2.

Detailed explanation-2: -The size of the receiver window in Go Back N ARQ is equal to 1. When the acknowledgment for one frame is not received by the sender or the frames received by the receiver are out of order, then the whole window starting from the corrupted frame is retransmitted.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, we use the Selective Repeat ARQ protocol. In this protocol, the size of the sender window is always equal to the size of the receiver window. The size of the sliding window is always greater than 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Go-Back-N, N determines the sender’s window size, and the size of the receiver’s window is always 1. It does not consider the corrupted frames and simply discards them. It does not accept the frames which are out of order and discards them.
