Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a computer network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss is either caused...

indicate it can send the next packet. In a simple automatic repeat request protocol (ARQ), the sender stops after every packet and waits for the receiver...

A frame is a digital data transmission unit in computer networking and telecommunications. In packet switched systems, a frame is a simple container for...

digital radio, packet radio is the application of packet switching techniques to digital radio communications. Packet radio uses a packet switching protocol...

into a series of "packets" that are sent to the receiver, along with additional information allowing the receiver to determine whether that packet was...

stop its half of the connection, it transmits a FIN packet, which the other end acknowledges with an ACK. Therefore, a typical tear-down requires a pair...

to dropped packets and that packets are received in the correct order. It is the simplest automatic repeat-request (ARQ) mechanism. A stop-and-wait ARQ...

NAS issues a final Accounting Stop record (a RADIUS Accounting Request packet containing an Acct-Status-Type attribute with the value "stop") to the RADIUS...

Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio-based system for real time digital communications of information of immediate value in the...

followed by a handshake token from the receiver back to the transmitter. The two packet types provide the 1-bit sequence number required by stop-and-wait...

A packet or sachet is a small bag or pouch, made from paper, foil, plastic film or another type of packing material, often used to contain single-use...

Go-Back-N ARQ is a more efficient use of a connection than Stop-and-wait ARQ, since unlike waiting for an acknowledgement for each packet, the connection...

Nagle's algorithm is a means of improving the efficiency of TCP/IP networks by reducing the number of packets that need to be sent over the network. It...
