Abstract

A transmitter breaks a message up into packets and transmits the packets to a receiver over a single virtual circuit within a local area network. The receiver has a finite amount of storage capacity for buffering messages. A sliding window protocol turns the transmitter on and off to ensure there is always storage room in the receiver for packets. Mean throughput rate and delay statistics are studied as a function of model parameters.
