Everything about Sliding window protocol

Type of error-detection protocol at the data link layer, and transport layer for TCP

A sliding window protocol is a feature of packet-based data transmission protocols. Sliding window protocols are used where reliable in-order delivery of packets is required, such as in the data link layer as well as in the Transmission Control Protocol. They are also used to improve efficiency when the channel may include high latency. Wikipedia →
