Selective Repeat Protocol

We have already learned about Go Back N, one of the sliding window protocols. If you are not aware, here you go. Now, we shall look into one more implementation of sliding window protocol, i.e. Selective Repeat. Selective Repeat: The method used in Go Back N is cumulative acknowledgment to acknowledge the packets. Now, selective […]
