What is the primary difference between Go-Back-N and Selective Repeat ARQ in terms of receiver behaviour on packet loss?
  • AGo-Back-N buffers out-of-order packets; Selective Repeat discards them
  • BSelective Repeat buffers out-of-order packets and requests retransmission of only the lost packet; Go-Back-N discards out-of-order packets and requires retransmission from the lost packet onward
  • CBoth behave identically at the receiver
  • DGo-Back-N is used only for wireless networks
Correct answer: B
