In a Go-Back-N protocol with a sender window of size 4, the frames numbered 1 to 10 are to be sent. Frame 5 is lost on its first transmission only, and no other frame or acknowledgement is lost. The sender has transmitted frames 6, 7 and 8 before the timer of frame 5 expires. What is the total number of frame transmissions (including retransmissions) needed to deliver all ten frames?

  • A11
  • B12
  • C14
  • D10
Correct answer: C

Explanation

Frames 1–8 are sent once (8 transmissions); on the timeout frames 5–8 are sent again (4), and then frames 9 and 10 (2), so 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 (Selective Repeat would need only 11).
