Sliding window protocol is a transmission control protocol. To hold the outgoing and incoming packets both the sender and receiver maintains a finite buffer. Every packet sent from the sender side must be acknowledged by the receiver.The sender is maintaining a timer for every packet sent, and any unacknowledged packet ... Read More

Network delay is defined as how much time will take a bit of data to travel from one node to another node.Network delay can be divided into following ways −Transmission delayPropagation delayLet us learn about both of them in detail.Transmission delayIt is the time required to put a packet’s bit ...

Traffic throttling is one of the approaches for congestion control. In the internet and other computer networks, senders trying to adjust the transmission need to send as much traffic as the network can readily deliver. In this setting the network aim is to operate just before the onset of congestion.There ... Read More

The presence of congestion means the load is greater than the resources available over a network to handle. Generally, we will get an idea to reduce the congestion by trying to increase the resources or decrease the load, but it is not that much of a good idea.There are some ... Read More

Traffic awareness is one of the approaches for congestion control over the network. The basic way to avoid congestion is to build a network that is well matched to the traffic that it carries. If more traffic is directed but a low-bandwidth link is available, congestion occurs.The main goal of ... Read More

The network layer is concerned with getting packets from the source all the way to the destination with minimal cost. Unlike the data link layer which has more important goals like just moving frames from one end of a wire to another. The network layer is the lowest layer that ... Read More

Data link layer translates the physical layers raw bit stream into discrete messages called frames. Now the question is how can a frame be transmitted, so the receiver can recognize the start and end frame?TechniquesThe techniques we used to find the start and end frame are −Character countFlag byte with ...

Elementary Data Link protocols are classified into three categories, as given below −Protocol 1 − Unrestricted simplex protocolProtocol 2 − Simplex stop and wait protocolProtocol 3 − Simplex protocol for noisy channels.Let us discuss each protocol one by one.Unrestricted Simplex ProtocolData transmitting is carried out in one direction only.
