Question 120

Station A uses 32 byte packets to transmit messages to Station B using a sliding window protocol. The round trip delay between A and B is 80 milliseconds and the bottleneck bandwidth on the path between A and B is 128 kbps. What is the optimal window size that A should use?

A
20
B
40
C
160
D
320
Question 120 Explanation: 
Tt = L / B = 32 bytes/ 128 kbps = 32*8/128 ms = 2 ms
Round trip delay = 2 * Tp = 80 ms (given)
Optimal window size is = (Tt + 2*Tp) / Tt = 82 / 2 = 41
Option is not given, closest option is 40.
