We want to implement a data link control protocol on a channel
that has limited bandwidth and high error rate. On the other hand,
the communication equipment has high processing power and large
buffering capacity. Assume that off-the-shelf software is available
for two protocols, the Go Back N and the Selective Repeat
protocols. Which one is better in this situation?
a. They are equally good.
b. Selective repeat.
c. Go back N.
SOL:
Selective repeat protocol is better in this situation
so option b is correct
Explanation:
They mentioned in the given data that the channel has high error rate . suppose if we implement Go Back N protocol and if a packet gets Lost then we need to retransmitt the entire window of N packets which requires a lot of Bandwidth. But they mentioned channel has Limited Bandwidth
If we implement selective repeat protocol over channel and if a pcket gets Lost then we selectively retransmitt that packet only this requires a less bandwidth .
so Selective repeat protocol is better in this situation compared to Go Back N protocol
