Flow Control z Ensuring the sending entity does not overwhelm the receiving entity y.

Flow Control z Ensuring the sending entity does not overwhelm the receiving entity y. Preventing buffer overflow z Transmission time y. Time taken to emit all bits into medium z Propagation time y. Time for a bit to traverse the link

Model of Frame Transmission

Model of Frame Transmission

Parameters z a = Propagation Time / Transmission Time z a = (d/V) /

Parameters z a = Propagation Time / Transmission Time z a = (d/V) / (L/R) yd - distance of the link y. V - velocity of propagation y. L - length of the frame (bits) y. R - data rate z U - utilization or efficency U = Tframe /Ttotal z for Stop & Wait U = 1 / (1 + 2 a)

Stop and Wait z Source transmits frame z Destination receives frame and replies with

Stop and Wait z Source transmits frame z Destination receives frame and replies with acknowledgement z Source waits for ACK before sending next frame z Destination can stop flow by not send ACK z Works well for a few large frames

Fragmentation z Large block of data may be split into small frames y. Limited

Fragmentation z Large block of data may be split into small frames y. Limited buffer size y. Errors detected sooner (when whole frame received) y. On error, retransmission of smaller frames is needed y. Prevents one station occupying medium for long periods z Stop and wait becomes inadequate

Sliding Windows Flow Control z Allow multiple frames to be in transit z Receiver

Sliding Windows Flow Control z Allow multiple frames to be in transit z Receiver has buffer W long z Transmitter can send up to W frames without ACK z Each frame is numbered z ACK includes number of next frame expected z Sequence number bounded by size of field (k) y. Frames are numbered modulo 2 k

Sliding Window Enhancements z Receiver can acknowledge frames without permitting further transmission (Receive Not Ready) z Must send a normal acknowledge to resume z If duplex, use piggybacking y. If no data to send, use acknowledgement frame y. If data but no acknowledgement to send, send last acknowledgement number again, or have ACK valid flag (TCP)

Error Detection z Additional bits added by transmitter for error detection code z Parity

Error Detection z Additional bits added by transmitter for error detection code z Parity y. Value of parity bit is such that character has even (even parity) or odd (odd parity) number of ones y. Even number of bit errors goes undetected

Cyclic Redundancy Check z For a block of k bits transmitter generates n bit

Cyclic Redundancy Check z For a block of k bits transmitter generates n bit sequence z Transmit k+n bits which is exactly divisible by some number z Receive divides frame by that number y. If no remainder, assume no error y. For math, see Stallings chapter 7

Error Control z Detection and correction of errors z Lost frames z Damaged frames

Error Control z Detection and correction of errors z Lost frames z Damaged frames z Automatic repeat request y. Error detection y. Positive acknowledgment y. Retransmission after timeout y. Negative acknowledgement and retransmission

Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) z Stop and wait z Go back N z Selective reject (selective retransmission)

Stop and Wait z Source transmits single frame z Wait for ACK z If

Stop and Wait z Source transmits single frame z Wait for ACK z If received frame damaged, discard it y. Transmitter has timeout y. If no ACK within timeout, retransmit z If ACK damaged, transmitter will not recognize it y. Transmitter will retransmit y. Receive gets two copies of frame y. Use ACK 0 and ACK 1

Go Back N (1) z Based on sliding window z If no error, ACK

Go Back N (1) z Based on sliding window z If no error, ACK as usual with next frame expected z Use window to control number of outstanding frames z If error, reply with rejection y. Discard that frame and all future frames until error frame received correctly y. Transmitter must go back and retransmit that frame and all subsequent frames

Go Back N - Damaged Frame z Receiver detects error in frame i z

Go Back N - Damaged Frame z Receiver detects error in frame i z Receiver sends rejection-i z Transmitter gets rejection-i z Transmitter retransmits frame i and all subsequent

Go Back N - Lost Frame (1) z Frame i lost z Transmitter sends

Go Back N - Lost Frame (1) z Frame i lost z Transmitter sends i+1 z Receiver gets frame i+1 out of sequence z Receiver send reject i z Transmitter goes back to frame i and retransmits

Go Back N - Lost Frame (2) z Frame i lost and no additional

Go Back N - Lost Frame (2) z Frame i lost and no additional frame sent z Receiver gets nothing and returns neither acknowledgement nor rejection z Transmitter times out and sends acknowledgement frame with P bit set to 1 z Receiver interprets this as command which it acknowledges with the number of the next frame it expects (frame i ) z Transmitter then retransmits frame i

Go Back N - Damaged Acknowledgement z Receiver gets frame i and send acknowledgement

Go Back N - Damaged Acknowledgement z Receiver gets frame i and send acknowledgement (i+1) which is lost z Acknowledgements are cumulative, so next acknowledgement (i+n) may arrive before transmitter times out on frame i z If transmitter times out, it sends acknowledgement with P bit set as before z This can be repeated a number of times before a reset procedure is initiated

Selective Reject z Also called selective retransmission z Only rejected frames are retransmitted z Subsequent frames are accepted by the receiver and buffered z Minimizes retransmission z Receiver must maintain large enough buffer z More complex login in transmitter
