Four bits are used for packed sequence numbering in a sliding window protocol used in a computer network. What is the maximum window size?
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) 15
Explanation
With n = 4 bits for sequence numbers, the maximum sender window size (Go-Back-N) is 2ⁿ − 1 = 2⁴ − 1 = 15. So the answer is 15.
