Reliable Transport

Groupwork

Assume you have an unreliable network layer (like the Internet) and want to build a reliable transport layer on top. You can only run software on the end-hosts (e.g., Client and Server).

1. How do you detect if a packet is lost?

2. What should you do if you detect a loss?

Hand-in

Each person in a group should submit their answers:

Make sure to include the names of all group members.

Happy transporting!
