🌐 Network Transmission Protocol Simulation

🚀 Go-Back-N Protocol Transmission Simulator

📋 Overview

This Python script simulates a network transmission protocol using the Go-Back-N technique, demonstrating frame transmission, error handling, and wire efficiency calculation.

📊 Diagram

✨ Features

Simulates network frame transmission with potential frame failures
Implements Go-Back-N protocol
Calculates wire efficiency
Provides detailed transmission statistics
Converts messages to binary representation
Handles dynamic window sizes

🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+
random module (standard library)

Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/Spafic/Go_Back_N_Protocol.git
cd Go_Back_N_Protocol

Install Dependencies

No additional dependencies are required as the script uses Python's standard library.

Run the Simulator

python main.py

User Inputs

Message to transmit
Window size for transmission

Note

Example Workflow

Enter message: Hello
Enter window size: 3

⚙️ Protocol Mechanics

Dynamically sends frames based on window size
Randomly simulates frame transmission success/failure
Supports automatic retransmission of failed frames using Go-Back-N strategy
Tracks and reports transmission efficiency

📈 Output Details

Received message
Binary representation
Total frames sent
Failed frames
Wire efficiency percentage

🧩 Simulation Characteristics

Random frame transmission success
Go-Back-N frame management
Adaptive retransmission strategy
