4. GBN vs SR. Compare Go Back N and Selective Repeat. Assume that the time-out values are sufficiently long, such that 8 consecutive data segments and their corresponding ACKs can be received (if not lost on the channel) by the receiving host (Host B) and the sending host (Host A), respectively. Suppose Host A sends 8 data segments to Host B, and the 5th segment (sent from A) is lost. In the end, all the 8 data segments have been correctly received by Host B. How many segments has Host A sent in total and how many ACKs has Host B sent in total? What are their sequence numbers? Answer for both protocols.
