Frequently Asked Question on Stop and Wait ARQ
When is Stop-and-Wait ARQ used?
This ensures that the data is received in the correct order and prevents data corruption. Stop and Wait ARQ can be used for flow control, with the receiver controlling the rate at which the sender delivers data.
What is the efficiency of the Stop-and-Wait ARQ?
Stop and Wait ARQ has low efficiency because it needs the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver before sending the next data packet. This causes a low data transfer rate .
Stop-and-Wait ARQ operates at which Layer?
Stop and Wait ARQ operates at Data Link Layer of the OSI Model.
Stop and Wait ARQ
Stop and Wait ARQ is a Sliding Window Protocol method used for the reliable delivery of data frames. The stop-and-wait ARQ is used for noisy channels or links to handle flow and error control between sender and receiver. The Stop and Wait ARQ protocol sends a data frame and then waits for an acknowledgment (ACK) from the receiver.
