Suppose you are designing a sliding window protocol for a 1-Mbps point-to-point link to the stationary satellite evolving around the Earth at 3 ×10^4  km altitude. Assuming that each frame carries 1 kB of data, what is the minimum number of bits you need for the sequence number in the following cases? Assume the speed of light is 3 ×10^8 meters per second. (a) RWS =1 (b) RWS = SWS. | Numerade

What is the sliding window technique and how does it work?
