  1. A sender uses the Stop-and-Wait ARQ protocol for reliable transmission of frames. Frames are of size 1000 bytes and the transmission rate at the sender is 80 Kbps (1Kbps = 1000 bits/second). Size of an acknowledgement is 100 bytes and the transmission rate at the receiver is 8Kbps. The one-way propagation delay is100 milliseconds. Assuming no frame is lost, the sender throughput is ________ bytes/second.
    1. 1.5 Kbps
    2. 2.5 Kbps
    3. 12.5 Kbps
    4. 20.5 Kbps
Correct Option: B

2500
Frame size (L) = 1000 bytes
Sender side Bandwidth (Bs) = 80 kbps
Acknowledgement (LA) = 100 bytes
Receiver side Bandwidth (BR) = 8kbps
Tp = 100 ms

n =
Tx
Tx + Tack + 2Tp

Tx(msg) =
L
=
1000 Bytes
= 100 ms
Bs10 × 103 BPS

TA(Ack) =
LA
=
100 Bytes
= 100 ms
BR1 × 103 BPS

Tp = 100 ms
∴ Channel Utilization =
Tx
=
100 ms
=
1
Tx + Tack + 2Tp100 ms + 100 ms + 200 ms4

∴ Throughput = η × B =
1
× 10 × 103 = 2.5 Kbps (or 2500 bps)
