A communication link has a bit rate of 10 Gbps and a length of 20 km. Propagation velocityis 2.5 × 108 m/s and ACK frames are piggybacked on information frames going in the reversedirection, one ACK for every received frame. Information frames are 9000 bytes long. The frameheader is 100 bytes.(a) What is the minimum window size that maximizes the effective bit rate?(b) What is the information effective bit rate if the window size is 16 frames? The final answers are a) Wsmin = 25 (piggybacked means ACKs embedded in info frames), b) 6.53 Gbps

Question

A communication link has a bit rate of 10 Gbps and a length of 20 km. Propagation velocity
is 2.5 × 108 m/s and ACK frames are piggybacked on information frames going in the reverse
direction, one ACK for every received frame. Information frames are 9000 bytes long. The frame
header is 100 bytes.
(a) What is the minimum window size that maximizes the effective bit rate?
(b) What is the information effective bit rate if the window size is 16 frames?

The final answers are a) Wsmin = 25 (piggybacked means ACKs embedded in info frames), b) 6.53 Gbps
