Computer A sends 5 packets of data to computer B using Sliding
Windows Flow Control
• The transmission time (time to put on the network) for a packet of data
is 1 'time units'
• Transmission time for an acknowledgement is O 'time units' (they are
very small)
• The propagation time (time to travel through network) for any
transmission is random (between 2 and 3 'time units', you choose a
random time for each packet and
acknowledgement sent).
• B's packet processing time is 1. B cannot process multiple packets
simultaneously. The initial window size is 3
● Draw a diagram to show how flow will be controlled while the data is
being sent.
