Questions and Answers

What is the main goal of reliability in data transfer?

  • Maximizing data throughput
  • Ensuring no data loss or bit errors (correct)
  • Reducing sender and receiver states
  • Minimizing delay in data transfer

    • What is the function called for ensuring reliable data transfer?

  • Flow Control Protocol (FCP)
  • Reliable Data Transfer (rdt) (correct)
  • Finite State Machine (FSM)
  • Congestion Avoidance Algorithm (CAA)

    • How are sender and receiver sides of reliable data transfer protocol developed?

  • Using Finite State Machines (FSMs) (correct)
  • By minimizing the number of states
  • Through congestion control mechanisms
  • By increasing the data transfer speed

    • What is the role of finite state machines (FSM) in reliable data transfer?
