Stop and Wait Protocol

To maintain the rate of data transmission between sender and receiver, it is required to use flow control protocol. The data link layer provides us with the protocol for controlling the data transmission rate. So here we are going to discuss one of the flow control protocols named stop and wait protocol. The stop-and-wait protocol ...

Socket Programming in Computer Network

Sockets in computer networks are used for allowing the transmission of information between two processes of the same machines or different machines in the network. The socket is the combination of IP address and software port number used for communication between multiple processes. Socket helps to recognize the address of the application to which data is to be sent using ...
