Give examples of processing that make goodput less than the channel capacity.

What will be an ideal response?


The goodput rate is less than the capacity of the hardware because protocols impose
overhead. Some network capacity is not available to user data because protocols:
? Send packet headers, trailers, and control information
? Impose a limit on the window size (receive buffer)
? Use protocols to resolve names and addresses
? Use a handshake to initiate and terminate communication
? Reduce the transmission rate when congestion is detected
