Answer #1

Go-Back-N Automatic repeat request is a protocol, in which the sending process continues to send a number of frames specified by a window size even without receiving an acknowledgement  packet from the receiver. It is a special case of the general sliding window protocol having window size as  N and receive window size as 1. It can transmit N frames to the peer before requiring an acknowledgement.Whatever be the size of sender window size but receiver will always receive only one packet at a time because of the fact that receiver window size is 1.In case of Go Back N pipelined protocol, only for the 1st packet takes some m unit of time to receive by the receiver after that  each 1 unit of time a packet is received by receiver .So the output efficiency almost becomes 100%.
