Consider the GBN protocol with a send window size of 8 and 10-bit sequence number. Suppose that at time t1, the sender has sent Packets 0 through 11 and has received ACK6. The receiver has received Packets 0 through 8. Answer the following questions:
- What sequence numbers are contained in the send window?
- Suppose at time t1, timeout occurs for Packet 7, what will the sender do?
- Suppose at time t2 > t1, the sender receives ACK8. Will the sender update the send window? If so, how?
- Suppose soon after t1, the receiver receives Packet 10. Will the receiver deliver Packet 10 to the upper layer? Will the receiver send an ACK? If so, what is the sequence number being ACKed?
