Question: In the stop-and-wait protocol, the maximum send window size is ______ and the maximum receive window size is _______ where <em>m</em> is the number of bits in the sequence.

Answer:

In the stop-and-wait protocol, the maximum send window size is 1 and the maximum receive window size is 1, where m is the number of bits in the sequence. This is because in the stop-and-wait protocol, only one packet is sent at a time, and the sender waits for an acknowledgement before sending the next packet. Therefore, the send and receive window sizes are both 1, indicating that only one packet can be in transit at any given time.
