Q1- A channel has a bit rate of 20 kbps. The stop and wait protocol with frame size 4500 bits is
used. The delay for error detection and sending ACK by the receiver is 0.25 seconds because of a
fault. Find the maximum efficiency of the channel if the destination is 30000km away and the
speed of the propagation of the signal is 2.8X10^8 m/s. Find the decrease in efficiency due to the
fault.

at least 50% in STOP N WAIT protocol.
Q3- Find out window size and minimum sequence number in sliding window protocol, if
Transmission delay (Tt)= 1 ms, Propagation delay (Tp)= 24.5 ms. (ms= milliseconds).
