Efficiency versus Delay for a Sliding-Window Data-Link Control Protocol
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration gives the efficiency of a sliding-window data-link control protocol as a function of the delay between a sender and a receiver. The link rate, frame (or packet) size and window size (in frames) are adjustable parameters. This link is assumed to be error free.

Details
The following parameter definitions and relationships are used:
is the link rate (b/s),
is the effective transmission rate in bits/sec = ,
is the efficiency,
is the one-way delay (sec),
is the window size,
is the frame size (bits).
If , then (large-window case).
If , then (small-window case).
