Q28.

A sender uses the Stop-and Wait ARQ protocol for reliable transmission of frames. Frames are of size 1000bytes and the transmission rate at the sender is 80Kbps(1Kbps=1000 bits/second). Size of anacknowledgement is 100bytes and the transmission rate at the receiver is 8Kbps. The one-way propagation delay is 100milliseconds. Assuming no frame is lost, the sender throughput is _____bytes/second.

Q30.

A link has a transmission speed of 10^{6} bits/sec. It uses data packets of size 1000 bytes each. Assume that the acknowledgment has negligible transmission delay, and that its propagation delay is the same as the data propagation delay. Also assume that the processing delays at nodes are negligible. The efficiency of the stop-and-wait protocol in this setup is exactly 25%. The value of the one-way propagation delay (in milliseconds) is ________.
